Another stunner> NEW YORK - Dr. Robert Atkins, whose popular diet stresses protein-rich meat and cheese over carbohydrates, weighed 258 pounds at his death and had a history of heart disease, a newspaper reported Tuesday.
Atkins died last April at age 72 after being injured in a fall on an icy street.
Before his death, he had suffered a heart attack, congestive heart failure and hypertension, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a report by the city medical examiner.
At 258 pounds, the 6-foot-tall Atkins (FATkins?) would have qualified as obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention body-mass index calculator.
The medical examiner's report was given to the Journal by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a group that advocates vegetarianism. The medical examiner's office told the Journal that the report had been sent to the group in error.
Might be time to short maybe cattle futures?
And things like CALM JBSS MCD and some others??
(speaking of cattle futures, it was reported today that they don't know what has happened to the rest of the 'tainted' mad cow herd, but they did say it is most likey in the food chain...)
Yeah, no shit... |
