He is the starting point for all of the modern low carb movement. To
say that any book author since is not an Atkins acolyte is unrealistic.
Without Atkins there is no low carb movement. Saying some low carb book
author is not a low carb acolyte is like saying a sailor is not aware of
the ocean.

Just to check - Are the reviews incorrect when they say Dr Davis's book
"Wheat Belly" focuses on wheat as the primary cause of the modern
obesity epidemic? That's something that has been true since the
invention of modern milling that separates the bran, endosperm and germ.

but they also work like dogs (mucho trabajo).


Degree of refinement matters.

Both the House and Senate budget plan would have cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.

Kucinich noted that none of the government programs targeted for
elimination or severe cutback in House Republican spending plans
"appeared on the GAO's list of government programs at high risk of
waste, fraud and abuse."

[W]e have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. And it's not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do is you get rid of corporate welfare. That's hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second is you tax corporations so that they don't get away with no taxation.
