British egg shortage
Couple of days ago the Times of London reported that eggs were in somewhat
short supply, and attributed this to the Atkins diet. Apparently egg consumption has risen 9% over last year to, if I recall the number correctly, 28 million a day. There was a suggestion that the supply of Christmas cake might suffer as a result, although if they're right in saying Atkins is the cause, presumably this will also cause a decline in the demand for cake, it being pretty high carb. This diet is certainly creating plenty of buzz, but more heat than light! |

The media here in the US has occasionally indicated that the price of beef in this country has been driven up due to the Atkins Diet. It has nothing to do with the reduction of imports from Canada due to the Mad Cow thing. LOL BJ |
