I have been aware of Atkins for years before it became this monster craze.
My mom being a diabetic, I have always believed that sugar is the number one danger in food. Atkins was one of the first diet that acknowledged this. I am sick of seeing 'healthful' foods that declare themselves lowfat and yet contain gobs and gobs of sugar.

___
--This diet has been around for 30 years...why is everyone trying to get in on it now?
-----

word of mouth advertising finally hit critial mass I would think. Also, people have become frustrated with the nonfunctional 'low-fat' paradigm.

____
--This is a fad that will eventually pass...b/c in the end, people love their carbs too much.
