Default Latest Low Carb News

Just a quick note to tell you about Low Carb Update:
http://lowcarbupdate.com. It's a website that links to the latest
news about the Atkins diet, South Beach, and other news articles about
losing weight.

Last week there were a ton of articles about the effect of low carb on
the beef and the bread industry. Good for beef, bad for bread.

There was a very disturbing story about PETA. This is an animal
rights group that promotes their cause by a variety of stunts. Some
of their members decided to go after the beef industry by feeding cows
meat to make them lose weight. Evidently - a commentary on the Atkins
diet.

The article doesn't mention it, but feeding cows meat is suspected to
be a contributing cause of mad cow disease. It's possible that they
are trying infect at least one cow. It just takes one to cause havoc.
One sick cow in Canada caused a suspension of the importation of
Canadian meat into the US.

On the lighter side, the lawyers of Catherine Zeta Jones are looking
for someone to sue. Somebody said she was on Atkins. That should be
good for about $10 million. However, her husband, Michael Douglas,
stated publicly, "I don't know anything."

Anyway, if you're interested in low carb news, check out:

Dave,

I followed the link on your website
(http://news.unclesharky.com/articles/1142). You may want to check
the source on the disturbing PETA story - it's at a satire site. I
think you were fooled on this one.


Wow. I've been watching too many West Wing reruns. Strange thing is
that the link came from the Google News feed. Your right. It's
satire. Makes you think, though. Guess that's what satire's for.
Thanks, Tom.
