CNN is reporting, no doubt objectively, that a recent study says "...maybe Atkins was right: People on low-carb, high-fat diets actually can eat more."

Check out the advertisement I got on the right-hand side of the screen:

Now, I realize, obviously, that they sold this ad in the "Health" section to an Atkins diet firm, and it probably comes up on many of their health pages. And, arguably, this is what targeted advertising is all about: "Hey, that Atkins diet sounds pretty good...oh, hey, here's how I can get started!" And, no doubt, if they did a story on how the Atkins diet really caused one to get leprosy, you'd see the same ad. But it still leaves a bit of a bad taste in the mouth...
