AR-News: (CA/US)Ranchers praise Dr. Atkins for steering dieters towards beef

[Animalconcerns]

[from Edmonton Journal]

RED DEER - The good doctor Atkins has been as kind to the beef industry as
he has been to waistlines.

Ranchers are praising the high-protein diet, because it appears to be
propping up beef consumption in Canada and the United States. 

That means more money for hard-up beef producers, struggling through the
mad cow crisis.

"I always like to have people have more beef in their diet," Brian Edge
said, with a chuckle.

"The more they eat, the better for us -- and for them, too," added the
Cochrane rancher, who was attending a beef industry conference in Red Deer
on Saturday.

Reports estimate that 30 million Americans follow the Atkins plan, which
steers people away from eating carbohydrate-rich foods like bread, pasta
and some vegetables.
