Brown-Forman debuts low-carb wines
by IconoclasT at 6:30 am EDT, May 24, 2004

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Brown-Forman has squeezed carbs out of its newest wines. Even the brand names reinforce the carbohydrate-counting craze.
    The wine and spirits maker expects to make a splash with its low-carb vintages, which will reach shelves nationally starting around Memorial Day. The wines are named after the grams of carbohydrates in a 5-ounce glass. One brand is called One.6 Chardonnay; the other is One.9 Merlot.
    Normally, a 5-ounce glass of wine has 3 to 6 grams of carbs, the company said. The low-carb brands have the same alcohol content as other wines.

WTF?!?! This Atkins/South Beach Diet BS pseudo science is way past its 15 minutes of fame. Apparently PT Barnum hit the nail on the had. There's a sucker born every minute. Enough Already

At least the Atkins diet allows Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection to shine on into the new millenium! Say goodbye to your fat...not to mention hearts, livers, and...whoops, you fat assholes never had any brains to begin with!!! Otherwise you would have never gone on this cockamaimie diet! Wanna lose weight? Smoke cigarettes and get cancer. It's as easy as breathing, unless of course if you cocksuckers are too lazy to do that too!

Same thing with "low carb" beers. Since when is alcohol a health food???

[ I'm not ready to call it pseudo-science yet, but even assuming their claims are 100% valid, this is stupid. If you're on Atkins to lose wight, give up the wine for a few months, for fucks sake.
You're right though, it's silly. The only weight loss plan I find compelling for 95% of people is the "Eat less, fatty, and get some goddamn exercise!" diet. I'm not saying I stick to it either, what with being at least 40 pounds over my ideal weight, but i'm under no illusions either. -k]
