Just a quick note to tell you about Low Carb Update:
http://lowcarbupdate.com.  It's a website that links to the latest
news about the Atkins diet, South Beach, and other news articles about
losing weight.

Last week there were a ton of articles about the effect of low carb on
the beef and the bread industry.  Good for beef, bad for bread.

There was a very disturbing story about PETA.  This is an animal
rights group that promotes their cause by a variety of stunts.  Some
of their members decided to go after the beef industry by feeding cows
meat to make them lose weight.  Evidently - a commentary on the Atkins
diet.

The article doesn't mention it, but feeding cows meat is suspected to
be a contributing cause of mad cow disease.  It's possible that they
are trying infect at least one cow.  It just takes one to cause havoc.
One sick cow in Canada caused a suspension of the importation of
Canadian meat into the US.

On the lighter side, the lawyers of Catherine Zeta Jones are looking
for someone to sue.  Somebody said she was on Atkins.  That should be
good for about $10 million.  However, her husband, Michael Douglas,
stated publicly, "I don't know anything."
