"Atkins is dead. I don't believe that bull**** that he dropped dead
slipping on a sidewalk, yeah right, joked Bloomberg.
Chowing down on huge plate of pasta, Bloomberg ripped into the man who
told dieters to stay away from carbohydrates.
Atkins died last April when he hit his head after slipping on a patch
of ice in front of his Manhattan office.
I actually went to his house out in South Hampton, said Bloomberg. It
was for a fundraiser about two years ago. It was for Pataki
fundraiser, and I went. The guy was fat -- a big guy but heavy and the
food was inedible. I took one appetizer and spit it out in the napkin.
It was just terrible."
Why would Bloomberg attack Atkins? Here is some insight.

"Media magnate and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg owns Johns
Hopkins University School of Public Health
Bloomberg is "the largest donor in the 125-year history of the Johns
Hopkins Institutions, with gifts including $100 million to the Johns
Hopkins Initiative." (Hopkins Names Public Health School for Michael
Bloomberg. Headlines@Hopkins news release, April 20, 2001.) Its School
of Public Health, which has been renamed for him, is the lair of those
corrupt epidemiologists, Leon Gordis and Jonathan Samet."
I haven't found anything yet on Gordis and Samet.
This is the new name of the school: Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of

to 35 percent from fat, and 10 percent to 35 percent from protein,
says the newest report on recommendations for healthy eating from the

Johns Hopkins researchers have contributed to establishing the idea
that 60% of our diet should be carbs. They ought to be irked by the
success of Atkins diet and now they are expressing their
dissatifaction at the highest level, the owner of Johns Hopkins is
doing the criticising. I wonder if it is in his capacity as owner or
Johns Hopkins or in his capacity as Mayor of New York?
