Low-Carb Eye For The Fat Guy?
 
When I was doing some banking today, I found out that the teller is on a
low-carb WOE. Then she told me that the bank Manager as well as the Loan
Officer are both on low carbohydrate diets! I talked to them and swapped lc
stories for quite a while; they were telling me about a lot of other
business people in this small town who are doing lc also ... an insurance
broker; a maintenance worker, etc.

It's surreal to me because when I started Atkins three years ago it was
anathema. When someone was on a low-carb diet, it was right up there on the
"top-ten-list-of-things-you-want-to-keep-secret" just ahead of cocaine
addiction, child molestation, wife beating, embezzlement and cross-dressing.

But with all the positive publicity in the past few months, Atkins has
seemingly been "outed" and is becoming mainstream. What's next -- a TV show
entitled "Low-Carb Eye For The Fat Guy?" ;-)

I feel constrained to point out that cross-dressing is nowhere near as
serious and negative as the other things in your list.

But with all the positive publicity in the past few months, Atkins has

That's true. Lately more people are open about it. I frequently meet
other happy LCers. Maybe it's just becoming more popular.

You know, in reality, a happy, funny gang of charming Gay guys normally
don't unite to teach a straight guy how to dress himself. That's what
you call "fantasy TV".

The Queen of Cans and Jars is a known bigoted, narrow-minded hater. I can't
believe that there are still people who haven't killfiled her yet!
