You know...as I read this again, it seems just a much a rant against what the author perceives as American ideals and Britain's alliance with America in the Iraq war as it is a public roasting of Dr. Atkins posthumously. A public tantrum, if you will.
While it may have made it into the media, I see it as far from good journalism; it's petty, mean and in just plain poor taste. Not to mention that his facts about low carb and Dr. Atkins personally are inaccurate.
Frankly, I hope he catches hell from the public for it.
