AR-News: (CA) Atkins dieters swelling demand for pork bellies

[Animalconcerns]

In diet books, bacon is often maligned as the antithesis of healthy
eating. But among followers of the popular Atkins diet, it's hard to find
anyone tearing a strip off the sizzle.

Brian Burko is an Atkins-diet devotee who swears by his menu of six slices
of bacon, four or five times a week.

"It doesn't really look like I'm on some terrible diet but over the last
few months I've lost 35 pounds eating this way," he told CTV News.

Mad cow disease and avian flu may partially explain why consumers are
turning to pork, and away from beef and chicken.

But many believe the key ingredient is the craze for Atkins-inspired
low-carb, high protein diets, and the notion that fat is good again.
