Finally, the fad diet that swept the nation may be over. Atkins Nutritionals Inc., the people who brought us the ever-famous Atkins diet just filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. Now, I'm all for people trying to improve their health and whatnot, but a diet regimen of cheeseburgers, bacon, and steak without vegetables or any carbs does not seem like the healthy alternative we're looking for.
Remember the times when fad diets were just that, fad diets? They didn't spawn an entire food/restaurant industry...no one created special nasty breakfast bars or special fast food menu items.
I blame the Atkins people for the invention of the Hardees "thickburger", the grossest-named burger in American history.
I'm going to go home and eat an entire loaf of bread in celebration. Take that Atkins!

Make it a loaf of ciabatta covered in balsamic vinegar and EVOO as Rachel would say - add a couple of bottles of wine and you have yourself a date! oooh - how about some pretzles and ice cream for dessert?
XOXOXO
Seriously. Love your blog. I'm linking it to mine right now.
How do you link - so I can link yours to ours. Sounds rather PG-13 of me - doesn't it?
