You failed to mention the rise of the diet book/method biz
that started about the same time and is still with us.

Oh yeah, the same yahoos pushed low-fat vegetarian diets
too. Hence the start of the commercialisation of the
silly low-fat diet books and programs. Thanks for
pointing that out.

The first low carb diet guru came about the same time, or a
bit before, the folk you mention. Both notions about "proper
health practices" and "diet books/fads" come and go in
waves. The lc wave has come and gone a few times in the 20th
cent., atkins was the start of the current one. All had a
better notion and were happy to offer the info, for a price.

diet "food". yet, I've been low-carbing for three years.

So what, this is irrelevant to the original thread,ie. the
biz of food and diet fads, their history and lc as being but
the latest example.
