The mark of insanity is repeating something over and over again thinking it will come out different.

When are they going to notice that their low-fat, high-carbohydrate recommendations are causing the obesity epidemic? Talk about long-term staying power. Follow these guidelines and your fat will be long term.

Oh, so Atkins dieters do lose weight. How nice. But the long-term effects have not been studied. So because they have not done the studies, we should just toss out this WOL and go back to being foggy-headed, carb craving, cranky maniacs ravening about for chocolate and cookies?

Makes sense. I'm on my way to Micky D's as we speak. After all, just because it works for me doesn't mean I should put myself in any danger that my nanny the government thinks might be there. </sarcasm>
