Discussion and supporting are two different concepts, period. Just because we offer a place to talk about something doesn't mean that we support it.

It's not all about WHAT YOU EAT.....it's how much, as well.

Part of the requirements of companies like Atkins (for posting their recipes or info) includes me properly listing them....as Atkins Diet.

Many of them aren't as a matter of fact. Sure there are a lot that do, but that's why you have the power of CHOICE.

Diets in general aren't meant to be kept up for life....but a reason why they're not as effective is due to a lack of restraint, I agree....but that's why people are where they're at today.

If that's what people want to assume, let them. We make it pretty clear what we do and don't support here. That's like saying a democratic message board supports republicans if there's a section on republicans, or that we support obesity because we have an "information on obesity section."
