Atkins Attack

Cato Institute: "It's no secret that nutrition nannies in the federal government oppose high-protein/low-carbohydrate diets like the Atkins plan -- not because such diets don't work but because their fat-is-OK approach contradicts the nannies' low-fat dietary prescriptions of the last 30 years. (The irony of course is that obesity has supposedly skyrocketed while America went low-fat.)"
