The effects on the tortilla industry? Crisis? Well, I'm sure the currently favored high protein diet is a disaster for those that push high carbohydrate diets, but I just find the idea of "The Tortilla Industry in Crisis" to be funny. I hope the tortilla industry doesn't start demanding some kind of airline industry style bailout from the government.

Just ask yourself: What if we are forced to depend on foreign suppliers for our tortillas? This could be a major issue of national security.

A low carb tortillia is on the market and my family uses it with no regrets. Only 3 carb grams each. I am glad they are getting the message re hi carb foods and the obesity from them. I have lost thirty four pounds with the Atkins's way and have only five pounds more to lose. The web site for tortillas is www.tortilliafactory.com. I strongly urge those that are overweight to check with www.atkinscenter.com for good advice and support.

Shouldn't the influx of 300,000 illegal aliens every year more than offset the "Atkins effect" on the "Tortilla Crisis".
