It has been months since Tina Moore last bit into a bagel or a slice of toast. "Protein is good.

bid to lose weight. Moore is one of an estimated 15 million-plus Americans seen as devoted followers

published this year—routinely 3best-seller lists. Atkins companies have made millions of dollars

in sales of specialty low-carb food products and carb-counting scales. But the popularity of

Atkins' eating advice, now appealing to another generation, is 4some food companies who rely on

the consumer appetite for carbohydrate-laden foods such as pastas and pizzas, cakes, cookies and

cereals, to add weight to their own bottom lines. "Our industry has to do something, and soon.

It is starting to become a 5belief that carbohydrates are bad," said Judi Adams, director of the

Wheat Foods Council, a society of industry players that includes ConAgra, General Mills and Kellogg

Co. Part of the society's push will be in Washington, where federal health officials are starting

talks on 6to the nation's 11-year-old Food Guide Pyramid. 7, the pyramid puts bread, cereals,

rice and pasta as the foundation for healthy eating. The strategy is a direct attack on Atkins:

Americans who follow the Atkins diet increase their risk of health problems that include

cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, kidney damage and some cancers, the Wheat Foods Council

says. Adding 8to injury, it claims that Atkins followers can also suffer headaches, constipation

and bad breath. According to Atkins, he is not looking to go to war with the food companies, and

even Atkins die-hards allow for an 9doughnut or cookie. "We teach people how to respect it and,

on rare occasions, have it in 10," he said. "We know people can't stay away from it forever."

Sitting in a back room at London's Barbican arts center, which is hosting the Game On Exhibition,

Henry Jenkins delivers a line that would have jaws dropping in any gathering of the rich and famous.

"I think games are going to be the most 1art form of the 21st century," he says. It is, you might

think, exactly what would be expected of someone introduced as "a professor of gaming." But Jenkins

is much more than that. He is the director of a graduate program in 2media studies at Massachusetts

Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, which also covers film, television and other mass media.

"Games are a significant but not the primary focus of the program," he says. "Our approach has

been to 3games more fully into the study of media, rather than apply them in one specialized field."
