You want PROOF - Here's Quackery Proof.

What? His former wife went on Atkins, lost weight, and improved her life, and he wants what? What kind of "compulsion" did she have? To eat meat? heh yeah, she started to feel good and realised she could do way better than her controlling **** of a husband, and left! He's just got his panties in a bunch because Atkins gave her the means to take control of her own life. Rachel (New Zealand) |

You want PROOF - Here's Quackery Proof.
"Jackie Patti" wrote ...
*Some* people on low-carb sound cultish. The whole deal with quoting chapter and verse from low-carb books is a bit weird, rather like people quoting scripture. Anyone who goes against accepted beliefs can appear cultish to those who don't want to hear that the accepted beliefs might not be right after all. That the troll's ex-wife chose her health and fitness over drinking in bars every weekend and being kiss-able strikes me as a quite sane choice on her part; that she continued to make that choice in the face of an ultimatum seems the only reasonable course of action. I can't imagine choosing to ruin my health for the sake of someone who claimed to love me if their "love" required me to risk my health and life. That's just an insane request to make of anyone and a ridiculous degree of hubris is required to think your pleasure should be valued more to someone than their own life. Such people are sometimes called "feeders" - they want to keep their partner fat and dependant on them. The troll claims to loved his wife and divorced her because she wouldn't do what he wanted - there is no way to reconcile those statements in my mind. Conditional love. Nice power trip.

Brainwashing, and low carb diets (Long post)

brain·wash·ing, n. [snip] 2. The application of a concentrated means of persuasion, such as an advertising campaign or repeated suggestion, in order to develop a specific belief or motivation. hmmm ... remarkably like the low fat / 'carbs are good for you' campaign that's been going on for 30 years or so ...

Rachel (New Zealand) Actually the Troll behind this latest spat of crap is a big paid newsgroup user-- that probably means he's a porn addict who needs a steady stream of daily porn to satisfy what he can't get otherwise. I doubt he could ever have a wife beyond the kind you pay by the hour. Let's face it--his life must be fairly boring... since he is spending so much time here. So we should all be understanding and simply put him out of our misery. DiGiTAL_ViNYL (no email) 350/304/Apr-299/200 Atkins since Jan 12, 2004 OWL-50 carbs/day (CCLL=?) |

If you've had lots of trouble and annoyances with various newsfeeds and noted a STUNNING lack of customer support in that area over the years, a nice, steady paid service where USENET is their #1 PRIORITY is WORTH it. -- Saffire 205/160/125 - 5'2.5" Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 |

Not at all, I'm very familiar with the value of a good newsgroup service for binary retention and completion. I've never had issue with Easynews. Often the justification for the added expense is related to the binaries groups. For a typical guy that means illegal movies, illegal music, illegal games, illegal software, illegal books, and lots of porn.
