Fatso

A report came out today stating that Robert Atkins, creator of the famously stupid Atkins diet, was overweight and had heart disease when he died. Dr. Atkins weighed in at a whopping 258 at the time of his death. He was considered obese by the CDC. And heart disease...well, duh.

None of this should come as a shock to anyone. We're talking about a man whose diet allowed him to eat a bacon double cheeseburger (without the bun of course), but wouldn't allow him to have a piece of gum (sugar = carbs, people). Holy clogged arteries. His widow is feverishly trying to explain all of this away, but c'mon lady.

He was a big guy who ate a lot of cheese. You do the math.
