'Put fat children on Atkins diet'
Fat children should be put on Atkins-style diets to lose weight and
prevent illness, a cancer specialist has said.
....
"The levels of salt and fat are anything but healthy but the basis of
the diet - which is low carbohydrate and high protein - is ideal for
losing weight."

And the mandatory veggies, too. Why didn't he mention them?

Opponents of Atkins-style diets claim that, over the long term, they
can cause kidney damage, thin bones and constipation, raise
cholesterol levels and increase the risk of diabetes and an early
heart attack.

These guys really ought to try using facts for a change. Oh right,
if they did that they'd stop being opponents. Atkins does not damage
kidneys and is actively helpfull for the rest. Clueless folks.
