Well, I'm less interested in debating points of word usage (as Dave Barry says about music, we all have our opinions, and yours is wrong ) than in questioning why people are so defensive about this WOE.

Look at the results here -- the Atkins diet went up against Weight Watchers, the Zone, and the Ornish plan and compared very favorably indeed -- this is great evidence to show to those low-fat fanatics who are convinced that we low-carbers are committing Suicide By Sour Cream. How is this a "bum wrap" against Atkins? As Dr. Dansinger himself says, "Instead of saying there is one clear winner here, we are saying they [the diets] are all winners."
