Número 5 de las 10 mejores historias de 2004: La dieta baja en carbohidratos está de moda y las porciones son cada vez más grandes. ¿Se puede solucionar la epidemia de obesidad?
Los estadounidenses se han vuelto francamente gordofóbicos. Y con razón: Los científicos han señalado la grasa como posible causa de enfermedades que van desde las cardiopatías hasta la obesidad y algunos tipos de cáncer. En respuesta, los estantes de las tiendas están ahora repletos de patatas fritas, embutidos y galletas sin grasa, todo ello preparado para que la gente pueda literalmente tener su pastel y comérselo también.

La cuenta atrás ha comenzado. El reloj avanza, y antes de que te des cuenta, el día de Año Nuevo estará aquí y también todos esos propósitos anuales de perder peso.
