Oh dear. I knew when I read that story on Dr. Atkins that it seemed skewed, but I figured it was a great chance to vent a little on those pesky fad dieters (and you will notice the quick jab to the Orkuters too). I overlooked what seemed like biased journalism for the sake of a joke.
Well, the joke is on me.
IT WAS PETA (link). PETA posed as a phony physicians’ accociation in order to peddle their agenda. Boo that crap. And to think, it was at the expense of the fad-diet army- and me. Well, I am sorry. For moment I was PETA’s little blog-monkey and it’s left a horrible, bitter taste in my mouth. Never again, my friends. Never ever again.
BTW tho. This by no means signals a change of heart regarding that Atkins crap. Put down that quadruple cheeseburger sans bun and jog a couple laps.

By the way you don’t have to put down the quadruple cheeseburger (animal style) as long as you keep running those laps.
John Tiesi added these pithy words on Feb 11 04 at 11:43 amIt’s nice to see some good journalism. It takes a real man to admit a mistake. Good job!
Ed added these pithy words on Feb 12 04 at 7:04 amIt has never been our intention here at EDANDHEIDI.com to be confused with “good journalism.” Please refrain from ever making that connection again.
John Tiesi added these pithy words on Feb 12 04 at 10:07 amMy apologies O Great One of not “good journalism.”
How foolish of me to think and say that.
