The problem is that people love over-simplification.  If you tell
people all they need to do is count the calories/carbs/fat in their
diet they love it!  If you tell them that food is a complicated
subject where you have to evaluate everything by how your body reacts
to it... they go back to eating cake and chocolate.  Perhaps we
should be grateful for Dr Atkins- he may have produced a generation
of mindless carb-counters who value low-carb bread above fresh fruit,
but at least it's got people eating a diet that is on average at
least *slightly* less bad than what it was before.
