My apologies for the swearing.... but....

Why on earth would someone go on any diet based on vague perceptions
of what the diet is supposed to be? The atkins diet has been accused
of being dangerous to ones health. Now I disagree completely and
firmly believe that is is much safer and healthier than a high carb
diet. But the media has repeated all the false dire warnings ad
nauseum. I cannot understand how anyone would make a major shift in
their diet without at least becoming somewhat educated about the diet
and its possible effects. This is your health we are talking about.

I find it absolutely frustrating to think how many people fail to do
even a modicum of due dilligence and research into such a basic thing
as diet. It's no wonder the US is in the health and weight condition
that it is.
