"For all the debate over the discomfort, expense and potential health risks, I believe that the fashion and diet industries will continue to promote the Atkins regime for as long as they (or essentially, their Western capitalist proprietors) profit from the advertising. It may satiate the hunger of its adherents but leaves its victims bereft of energy as they are deprived of the source of life itself: carbohydrates. Their physical state - not hungry, and yet exhausted - becomes a pertinent metaphor for the plight of many ‘successful’ workers in Western capitalist society. In spite of all that society has supposedly ‘provided’ them with, these societal ‘Atkinsites’ are morally, intellectually and spiritually-starving, and lacking the autonomy to supplement the insubstantial aspects of their own lives, neglected by the system which supposedly nurtures them."

Gee, I have MUCH more energy, and last time I checked, I was neither morally, intellectually or spritually starving.

Help! What am I doing wrong?


Cheers,
