Krispy Kreme says it's a victim of low-carb diet

Anyway....didnt John Atkins die? Wait, so did the guy who invented the powerbar (massive heart attack I believe).

EVERYONE dies, no matter what diet they're on.

I think low-carb is allright, but the Atkins low-carb eat all the satruated fat you want formula is insane. Gonna be a lot of skinny people having massive heart attacks ten or fifteen years down the road.

The diet and fast food industry are in crisis mode because of this lo-carb shit. You should see them in round table discussions at various trade shows. It's like WWIII for them! McDonald's is actually seeing profits FALL for the first time in decades!

Diets make billions from pills, "programs", magazines, instructional videos, etc. They want you to be fat, and be a "loser" at diet programs, so they keep making more money. A simple "keep carbs at zero" is making them lose shitloads of monye. FF places lose money for obfious reasons.

Don't expect them to go down w/o a fight. They're gonna try to keep enticing people back with even YUMMIER food. Keep reminding the now fit people what they're missing. Make foods even more high in fructose and corn syrup and sugars and chemically designed to gain maximum bloatness when you eat it.

This is gonna get ugly...

The KK store down from my house isn't hurting for business. Everytime they turn the hot doughnut light on that place is packed.

yeah for the first 2 months after they opened the one across from where i work there were police directing traffic there were so many patrons.

Yes, but you were also implying that it had to do with their products/diet. Spuriously correlative.

This is exactly the point I am trying to make.

Except they're saying that the majority of your fats shouldn't be saturated.

You are right, I just think that people are taking it a little too far.
