Default Just a thought but...

Now that Atkins is dead do you think this company will take on to the idea,
as the Scientologists have, to sell future editions of Atkins books with the
phrase, Based on the teachings of Robert Atkins... etc?

Only they will add new information or Tech, in Scientology parlance,
specifically when they find new products to shill?

I mean Atkins himself was selling out in the end, the last version of his
book was the first to accept "sugar free" sugar alcohol products as safe for
the low carber, coincidentally just before releasing his own sugar free
sugar alcohol products.

Now that it's more a corporation rather than a living person's reputation on
the line, should we expect a major push of products down our throat ala Dr.
Phil... oh wait... Dr. Phil is living isn't he, I guess we should debate if
he's a person... no matter ya'll get my point.

No. What is your point? Research on the effectiveness of the
Atkins diet and similar ones is increasing. Results are
showing that the low carbohydrate approach to losing weight
is effective for many people. Assuming the research
continues to show the Atkins approach is effective, then,
obviously, people will develop and market new products to
satisfy the increased demand for them. That's fundamental
economics.

You're a troll, I think no matter what I post you've made it your mission to
auto-contradict anything I write, so I think you should get cancer of the
cock and have it removed without anesthesia. You are killfiled.

Apparently you failed the first two times then. Pilot error.
Or were you lying?

Lying to you doesn't really count as lying, considering you're not really a
person.

I see you still haven't put me in your killfile after three tries. Is there
anything I can do to help you get it right?

I know I'm not really a person. It's a Buddhist thing.
