Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / June 2004Atkins Approved
OK, Atkins is dead and buried. How in the hell can he approve anything? Yet, Subway and other advertisers keep saying these words. I thought false advertising was against the law? Unless of course someone has found a way to communicate with the dead. > OK, Atkins is dead and buried. How in the hell can he approve > anything?

Henry Ford is dead, too. Call up your local Ford dealership and tell them. >OK, Atkins is dead and buried. How in the hell can he approve >anything?

Atkins is now a brand name and the company that owns the name approves the usage of the name. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because of the current email spam attacks my email account is not included, reply via the newsgroups or ask for a valid email address. > OK, Atkins is dead and buried.

Dr. Aktins is dead. The Atkins company is alive and well. No need to communicate with the dead. False advertising for dietary supplements is not against the law. They don't have to be safe or effective. That's why you see so many penis enlargement ads and fake diet pills. Sabu > OK, Atkins is dead and buried. How in the hell can he approve > anything?

When Atkins died, his beneficiaries initiated some aggressive marketing. Places like Subway have to be legally licensed to use the Atkins logo and "stamp of approval". Otherwise, they would, indeed, be making claims illegally. Most other claims are more generic in nature (eg "low carb friendly", etc.). These are the claims that one needs to be careful with. -------------------------------------------------- "An unexamined life is not worth living" - Socrates > False advertising for dietary supplements is not against the law.
