Two things: no matter where you go you are going to encounter anti-Atkins sentiments. I usually just keep my mouth shut. The comment on "how did he die again?" was certainly uncalled for and rude -- if it were me, I might have had to reach back to my New Jersey roots and tell the woman to go f**k herself.

But the other thing is...getting thinner is the best revenge. I have had the cashiers at WalMart make comments about stuff I buy, and my most common response is, "yes, that's what I thought...30 pounds ago." That shuts them up.
