Hiya

Isn't it always the way... you join a forum with nothing to say, then two questions come along at once! I'll stick to the heading question for now though...

I've been on the Atkins diet less than one week and already seeing fantastic results! Even breaking my formerly unbreakable sugar addiction! But I'd really like to know there's something out there for those days when it just has to be sweet...

Even if I weren't chemically intolerent, the prospect of eating foods linked with Multiple Sclerosis (12 years of its milder cousin ME tells me I so don't want that) or ones processed with a little help from chlorine, etc is abhorrent to me.

So we come back to Dr Atkins' favourite, Stevia. Illegal in this country... you can't even buy it in plant form and dry it yourself. (You can, as an aside, buy it in seed form from the US and grow, then dry it yourself )

Which leads me, at last, to my question...

What is being done to put pressure on the UK government to reverse their ludicrous decision to ban it in any form?

Meanwhile, forgive me if I take out my frustration with them through the medium of smilies...
