wow Jaqui lucky you

I am still waiting for a reply from Sainsbury's. I had given up but it looks likes that they might be just very slow in answering emails.

I was in my local Sainsbury's last night and yet again the macadamia nuts in the baking aisle were sold out. However i was taken to the nut aisle where they had macadamia nuts but were salted. This is a new addition to my local Sainsbury's they must have noticed a demand for Macadamia nuts, shame the buyers haven't put the connection with 'Atkins'
I may email them again pointng out that a new demand for certain food items shows a lot of shoppers are probably on the Atkins diet.

I think my family are turning in to a classic case! I went on the diet because my fiance had been on (and is going back on as of next Monday ) the diet. Because I found out how well it worked, I put my mum on the diet. Then I found out my sister was on the diet. Then she came to visit today, discovered there's plenty her vegetarian partner could be eating and thinks he'll go on the diet now. Her best friend found out how well it helped her and she's on the diet now. Her best friend's husband saw how well his wife was doing so now he's on the diet...

You know, if there's one thing I learnt after a hellish year working in advertising, it's that there's no such thing as an advert more effective (or able to combat) word of mouth!

I can't see it being too much longer before there's enough people doing really well on this way of eating that we reach a kind of critical mass which sees a huge reversal of attitudes from folk like the supermarkets... who can't help but influence the government in turn.

Vive la revolution I say!
