Krispy Kreme Sells Out to Atkins

Krispy Kreme, home of the most delicious doughnuts on the planet, has given in to the low-carb craze. They're creating a low-sugar doughnut, set to debut later this year. Truly sad news. If you can't go to Krispy Kreme for a guilt-free sugar indulgence, where can you go? I'm sure that, like low-carb offerings by fast food restaurants like Subway, these low-sugar doughnuts will sell and be successful. Honestly, though, I am just sick to death of hearing about the Atkins diet, and I'm sick of seeing commercials for low-carb foods. Stop the insanity! Oh, that reminds me, a few weeks ago I saw Susan Powter on The O'Reilly Factor railing against the Atkins craze. I think she was on crack that day because she was acting completely insane.

John, that's 'cause Susan Powter IS completely insane. Her stop the insanity program is all about her self-loathing...

KK is selling out to profits, not atkins. and while it's lamentable that low-carb is a raging fad, the principles behind it are pretty sound. everything in moderation (including moderation).

I'm on the Reverse-Atkins diet, I eat nothing but pure cane sugar & sweat tea.

Throw in some tacos from Moe's and that sounds like the diet for me!
