Where was all the concern about the high-carb diets?

Where was all the concern about the no-fat diets?

Exactly. Nutritionists HATE Atkins because it demonstrates that the whole
food pyramid thing - the central tenet of many nutritionists beliefs - is
absolute crap.

Further, many nutritionists have some sort of ecological axe to grind where
they encourage us to eat less meat and more rabbit food.

Low fat diets fitted into the food pyramid theory and their political
beliefs, so nutritionists generally support them. Low carb diets do not.
Rather than change their theories to fit into the facts obseved by millions
of dieters world-wide, they invent concerns which they never expressed for
other diets or simply deny that the diets work.
