What in the hell is the South Beach diet?
I wish that fad diets would just go away. I know that this won’t happen as long as there are fat people who want to be less fat with as little effort as possible, but it still disappoints me when I see the diet of the week mentioned on food that I buy, since I would rather that the world let me be fat in peace.
Although Atkins still pops up from time to time, the craze has mostly died out, but, from what I can tell, the South Beach diet has stepped in to take its place. I have no idea what this diet is, but it probably involves fewer carbs or no carbs or no fat or something else along those lines, and the actual details are apparently so complex that it requires the purchase of a book, thus defeating Atkins in terms of required merchandise. I do know that “South Beach” refers to Florida, and nothing good comes out of Florida. Also, I noticed today that the mustard I bought, usually content to be no more than a condiment, mentioned in a small blue circle on the front that it is “South Beach recommended,” so I guess the diet involves a lot of mustard.
