Atkins Diet Over

Thursday, September 1, 2005

Atkins Nutritional, the former nutrition giant whose Atkins Diet craze has fizzled in the recent months, blamed slumping demand and increased competition for its failure. What do you think?

Marcus Kaat,
Produce Manager
"Now that it has been proven a financial disaster, I am convinced of the inefficacy of the Atkins Diet."

Evan Swaney,
Commercial Fisherman
"Does this mean I can't get triple-bacon-double-cheese barbecue burgers any more? I can? Whew. Close one."

Dianne Bankhead,
Paralegal
"Diets are fleeting. Health concerns fade. But my body's quivering girdle of rich yellow fat is eternal."
