I went to the local grocery store yesterday, right inside the front

supplies. Instead of shopping as I had inteneded, I immediately
walked up to the customer service counter. I asked to speak to a
manager. When he arrived, I told him that I have been a customer
for many years, and I will not return to this store again. When he
asked why, I pointed to that banner. I told him exactly how I feel
about
Atkins, his diet, and his cult. I told him that if he is
advertising a diet that the AMA and most doctors believe is
dangerous to ones
health, causing clogged arteries, heart attacks, and mental health
problems. I went on to tell him that he is not looking out for the
health of his customers, by advertising the Atkins diet, but instead
is selling out to greed. I further told him that he will be
receiving this in writing, and so will his boss at the top of the
company
chain. And just to make my point real clear, I whipped out a few
20's from
my wallet, and said "I had intended to spend these here, instead
I'll
spend them at _______ (other local grocery). Then I walked out the
store.


Translation:
"The other day I walked into a grocery store that I'd been frequenting
for years. The presence of an advertising banner for Atkins' products
brought a haze of red across my eyes and I began to froth at the
mouth. I went up to the customer service desk and began to rant
incoherently about Atkins, cults, the FBI, aliens and mind control
chemicals placed in Girl Scout cookies across the country by the
Rosicrucians. The manager backed away, smiled nervously and assured
me that my concerns would be taken into consideration. By this time a
crowd of bag boys had gathered and a brief flash of common sense
caused me to realize that several of them were roughly the size of NFL
linebackers so I'd better run. I got away by pushing an elderly woman
into a crowd of children. Whew."

thanks Carmen.. I really liked your translation. I have worked in the

retail
markets for a many years, this is exactly what happens..

You are demonstrating all the characteristics of a variety of mental
disorders. You are one sick dude. First you blow off your wife, then you
come attack here. How sick can you get?

I, however, am finding you an entertaining TROLL type person. Some people
are artfully creating very good humour at your expense! VERY entertaining!
Keep up the good work, bring joy and laughter to the world!

Life gets better!

You people are BORING, and it's obvious none of you have a mind of
your own. I guess that's typical of those on the Atkins diet, since I
learned that first hand from my ex. But guess what. I DONT CARE.
I dont care if you people kill yourselves on this diet, nor do I care
what my ex does anymore. There's no hope once Atkins gets you hooked.
I've learned what I needed here, and learned the best thing to do is
avoid you people. There are plenty "normal" people to meet, who dont
base their whole lives on a stupid diet, and actually HAVE A LIFE.

Besides that, this newsgroup is BORING too. I'm not going to waste
any more time here. I'm unsubscribing !!!!

While you people torture yourselves, I got a whole box of Easter candy
to enjoy.

However, I'll leave you with this website
http://www.low-carbdietwarning.com

GOODBYE and good luck

You KNOW they all laughed at you when you walked away.


Absolutely - no matter how politely that manager smiled and nodded

Sounds like your ex-wife was one sick person. Good that you escaped with
your skin intact. But don't blame it on the diet... rather put the blame
where it belongs, directly on the ex-wife's mental illness. I know, from
personal experience of leaving a schizophrenic, that these people can make
life very difficult. But you can overcome this history if you find help
from a mental health professional who will assist appropriately. (Not all of
them can...) I encourage you to seek professional assistance. It really
can help you get past this issue!

Here PROOF - Atkins is a QUACK. This is on the web....

Sure Atkins was a quack. Your problem in trying to prove the case, is
to post articles that are written by people with obvious agendas. Way
too obvious. Science is hard to find as there has been no long term
testing done on his "diet". The best was a one year low carb v low fat
diet that after 6 months had Atkins ahead in weight loss, lipids and
cholesterol numbers. Funny thing was, after a year, the low fat people
had pulled into a statistical dead heat with the low carbers, in all
categories.

To these people, there is no proving anything. It's already too late
for most of them. The thing to do is to prevent others from getting
started on this so called diet. The thing on this newsgroup is that
the majority of them would not even budge from their catatonic state
of brainwashing if someone dropped dead right in front of them because
of the diet. I bet if Jesus Christ appeared and told them they were
on the wrong road, they'd choose the word of Atkins over that of
Jesus. Most of them on this group are in that babbling idiot stage,
where nothing penetrates their brains any longer, except the almighty
words of Atkins. I know it all too well from my ex-wife. Hell, she
got so bad, that if she ate something that is not "Atkins approved",
like a few french fries, she go to the drugstore and buy some syrup
crap, that would make her vomit. If nothing else, that was the part
that made me make my final decision to leave her. This Atkins diet is
far beyond being a diet, it's complete control of a person, it's an
illness, particularly a mental illness, and it's so very obviously a
cult.

Trying to make any sense with these people is a complete waste of
time. It was the same thing with my ex. But I have learned a lot
about this illness on this newsgroup. If nothing else, I have learned
there is no hope for the majority of them, who are strictly Atkins. I
will give a few of them the benefit of the doubt, but those few appear
more interested in low-carb, but not actually Atkins. I can see now
there is a difference in both the diet, and the person following it.
Unfortunately my ex was totally Atkins. At the same time, I wonder
how many of those who are (as they put it), doing a low-carb diet but
not actually the Atkins diet, will end up being drawn into the Atkins
cult?

It's pretty scarey when you think how one man (one dead man), can have
so much power to control and destroy the lives of so many thousands of
people, and even get into mainstream advertising, such as the Subway
commercials. But there will always be someone out to control the weak
minded individuals in society, and destroy their lives. I've never
quite understood how someone like David Koresh could brainwash all
those kids, to the point of burning to their deaths, or whoever it was
that caused that "Heavens Gate" insanity. I often wonder if these
cults are designed to recruit more suicide terrorists, because who in
their right minds would fly a plane into a building, killing
themselves and everyone else. Yet, when I think about this, I can
easily see where using a diet would be one of the best tools to use to
brainwash people. If the body isnt working right, then the brain wont
work right either. Then add some chemicals, call it a "diet
supplement", and you got control of these people, and can manipulate
them as desired. It's all very scarey, almost something you'd only
expect to read in a science fiction book. Yet, its happening right
before our very eyes.
