Kat, it is sad but the bashing does continue to dominate our society. I don't agree with some plans and others simply did not work well for me. I would never put down WW, many have had much success with it. I wasn't one of them. Poor Dr Atkins cannot even rest in peace as his personal medical information was illegally made public and then the facts surrounding his death again mis-represented in the media. Just last night DD and I went to the grocery store. DD went to use the restroom and I waited for her next to the low carb product section. While I was browsing a younger couple approached where I was standing. The woman said "No he didn't, he died of a heart attack because he was fat! How can a diet of hamburgers be healthy! ........" It took everything I had not to follow her and set the record straight
