Just a thought.....

[not2late]

A few years ago, there was a mad cow scare in the US. And of course, someone identifying themselves as a reporter posted a thread here on the forum asking how a beef recall would impact Atkins dieters and whatever will we (dieters) do.

It seems strange that when there was a spinach scare, no reporter posted how that would effect us. Nor did anyone post when the pumpkin shortage was anticipated last fall. And even now, with the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, threatening the seafood industry in the lower states, not a single reporter has posted if this will impact our Atkins.

I guess we should feel luck?

Re: Just a thought.....

You know, us Atkineers, all we eat is meat and eggs, why would we care about seafood, spinach, pumpkin or, for that matter, LETTUCE!

As a marksmanship instructor and coach, one of my favorite movie llines is by Mel Gibson in "THe Patriot". "Aim small, miss small." Problem is, it isn't a very useful quote for journalists! They can be guilty of focussing in on a tiny portion of their chosen research subject and while they dilligently gather mountains of minutia they miss the actual story.

We get absolutely no love......

No one asks us about GMOs and how they impact our diet.
No one asks us CAFOs.
No one asks us about CSA programs.

It's like all we do is eat bacon, low carb shakes and bars.

No love at all.

I eat the bacon, skip the shakes and hang out in bars!
