If that were the case, I would agree, but high-protein diets aren't
just about weight-reduction, and it's my suspicion that one odd set
of needs constitutes wanting to be catered to, while a lot of
people's needs are suddenly simple common sense. As usually is the
case, a reasonable compromise between two extremes is a good idea. I
think it's more a matter of having high-protein and low-carbohydrate
options available, than about forcing other people to go hungry, just
as similar rules apply pretty well to dealing with vegetarians.
