Subject: Atkins Backlash Author: Justin [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:27:07 07/20/04 Tue In reply to: Betty 's message, "Warnings about low-carb/Atkins diets" on 13:10:34 06/22/04 Tue Congratulations are in order to the good dead Dr. Atkins whose low-carb diet program is changing the way Americans eat! Bread is now equated with evil, despite the fact nobody would even be living in a city anywhere on the planet if our ancestors didn’t discover the secret of this most basic of basic foods some 50,000 years ago. The fast food joints are all screaming about their “Atkins friendly” menu additions in hopes of gaining back lost business, but bakeries are going out of business right and left. That includes Kaufman’s Bakery, a 67-year-old Buffalo institution, which recently closed down, leaving over a hundred employees screwed. Apparently the plant on Fillmore Avenue is too old to produce low-carb rolls and buns in a cost-effective manner, so it’ll all be Stroehmann’s from now on. In other Kaufman’s related news, all the orange step vans have been converted into mobile crack and meth labs; flag them down and experience a really thin person’s lifestyle.
