Everyone:

As some of you may know, the popular American TV newsmagazine "20/20" ran its lead story on Gary's "Big Fat Lie" article in the NY Times. While it was nice finally to see what Gary looks like, the report was disappointing.

Despite the report stating that fat was now good, once again, the "saturated animal fats" were branded as "The Bad Fats" along with the TFAs. The "Good Fats" were all of the politically-correct ones: olive oil, sesame oil, flax oil, and (OMG!) canola oil.

The report also kept stating that it was REFINED carbohydrates that were harmful and that whole grains were OK. As we all know, with the exception of a few vitamins and minerals, a carb is a carb is a carb. I don't think Gary meant to imply in his article that it was not OK to eat a bowl of pasta, but perfectly alright to eat a big bowl of brown rice. They even showed Gary at the end of the piece saying, "I'm going to continue eating a low-carb diet."

For the grand finale, after the peice was over, the show had Barbara Walters and her co-host discussing the Duke University study on the Atkins Diet and how the subjects lost weight and had improved blood lipid profiles. It, of course, is common knowledge that the Atkins Diet is heavy on animal fats, the supposed "bad" ones fingered by the show, but this was not mentioned by the hosts.

Even when some of the truth gets out there as it did in Gary's article, the Spin Doctors still seem to twist it to suit their own agenda--even with Gary on the damn show!
