AR-News: (US-fl)Vegetarians chew the fat over the Atkins diet

[Animalconcerns]

SARASOTA -- Whisper the name "Atkins" in a room full of vegetarians and
you are sure to get more opinions that you can shake a carrot at.

"Any diet needs to become a lifestyle, and I just don't think the Atkins
diet can be a lifestyle because of the heavy fat content," said Nancy
Allen, 57, who coordinated the Churchill Downs Road Seventh-day Adventist
Church's fifth annual Vegetarian Taste Fest on Sunday.

The event attracted more than a roomful. An eclectic group of nearly 200
wandered in for dishes such as confetti couscous from 11 to 3 at the
church, generating more than $1,000 for the All Faiths Food Bank.

Atkins is a "long term health disaster," snorted Dan Bush, a hulking bear
of a man serving up ladle after ladle of his "Dan's Vegan Hutspot Stew."
