This is to be a 2-D side scrolling game with elements of a platform style game with beat-em'-up style influences. The game would also include some detective work. The arch villian in this game is Dr. Robert C. Atkins. He fits much of the evil mad scientist profile type while having some traits of a totalitarian dictator.

He is a psychologically damaged person who is influenced into becomming a tyranical ruler. His plan for implimenting the dominance that he seeks is to eliminate nearly all of the human population. Therefore he will be a ruler over a remaining few. His plan has many stages of implimentation and as these stages are completed, his dominance becomes more feasable to achieve.

His first order is to gain the people's trust, he does this by becomming a doctor. Through this career field people begin to think that he (Atkins) is there to ensure the good health and longevity of the people. As he progresses in the knowledge of how the human body functions, he learns that there are some factors that cause people's bodies to have more fat than other's.

He learns that certain genetic causes, along with metabolism, and lifestyle have some effect on body weight and composition. As his (Atkins) counterparts in the food and drug industry bid and compete to fatten up the population of people, the factors of lifestyle also have their effect. The result is that the people (not all of the people) are getting fatter. Some people and organizations try to educate the population of some solutions.

One such group of people recommend that people become more like vegetarians since many vegetables contain a large amount of needed nutrients, while containing little or no fats. This information is taken seriously by many people. This leads to some declining sales of meat products. Then later, there are some enteties who begin a decline in the quality of foods, thus contaminating the food supply of the general population.

Some of this degredation in food quality is done through the intentional lowering of food quality standards to save money and increase profits for business leaders under the guise of "turning out a profit for their investors". Because of this business practice, much of the food chain gets contaminated with disease. Soon the H5N1 virus and Mad Cow Disease are reportedly threatening to infect and bring down human populations.

Dr. Robert C. Atkins sees the events unfolding and realizes that these conditions create the potential for him to take control. He uses his background as a doctor to gain the people's trust. The meat industry realizes that they are under scrutiny and continue to lose revenue. Dr. Atkins teams and contracts with the meat industry to carry out a plan that will revive the meat industry to dominance and "undo the damage done by the vegetarians".

Atkins then creates a plan with a mythology that carbohydrates are the problem with obesity. Atkins' mythology states that eating mostly meat while avoiding carbohydrates will save human populations from obesity and birth defects. Soon Atkins, while teamed up with the meat and advertising industries, begin to market the mythology as a diet plan solution.

At first, no one really notices the diet, while some people are reluctant to go toward a diet that emphesizes so strongly on meat. Atkins realizes that there is still too much resistance to his diet plan being accepted by the mass population of the world. Atkins and his partners in the industries of meat production and advertising begin to eliminate many of the obstacles that resist the progress of the Atkins diet mythology.

The problem as Atkins sees it, is that groups such as the vegetarians and the vegans are controlling the nutritional education of people. Atkins realizes that if people eat a more balanced diet and eat meat sparingly while excercising a good amount, they will live a more healthy life. (He learned this during his time as a doctor). So Atkins begins to devise a way to get people to abandon their vegetable and grain consumption.

Atkins calls upon the meat industry to migrate most of it's meat production practices to a "factory farm" method of producing animal related products.

October 30, 2006

Atkins approves of the factory farm idea because it will lower the cost of meat production and it's quality even more. This helps to accellerate the funding of Dr Atkins' agenda. The general population begins to catch on and understand at a somewhat slow rate that the food chain is being contaminated by food production methods. This is because of the efforts of moderate meat eaters and vegetarians who begin working together to help assure that food quality stays at a good level.

While the factory farming is helping to boost the productivity and reduce the quality of animal produced foods such as meat, Atkins and the meat industry realize that it is not enough progress to get people to consume larger quantities of meat. Atkins then sees that while the vegetarians are influencing the people, his diet plan will never succeed. So as a response, Atkins orders that all existing factory farms to operate at maximum production rate.

October 30, 2006

The current production rate of animal derived food products are still not enough to meet the demands of Dr. Atkins. So Atkins advises the meat industry to obtain more production capacity. The meat industry then begins to pressure the United States Department of Agriculture to shut down the local family owned farms. The factory farms sell their products at a lower price to increase competition.

Or that is, to increase their own advantage. To help ensure their victory over independent family owned farms, the advertising agencies begin their campeign to condition the public to believe that family farming is more expensive. With this helping the factory farming effort, the farmers who own independent farms have to struggle even more to stay in business. They result in hiring illegal immigrants to reduce operating costs.

This works to the advantage of the advertising agencies because they use it to humiliate the family farmers even more. But the large corporation network of Atkins teamed with the interests of meat producers are not surprised by this victory. Because they have made contributions to the campeign funds of the politicians who were willing to create the illegal immigration flow.

With the resistance of the family farmers being diminished to a level that is acceptable by Dr. Atkins, Atkins begins the expansion. He has almost all farming to be operated by factory farms. This provides the meat industry with a infrastructure strong enough to impliment Dr. Atkins' plans. The factory farms produce ever expanding amounts of meat products. To their advantage the quality of meat products is reduced also by disease that is spreading through the animals because of their living conditions.

Atkins then with his supporters in the pharmaceutical industry use this disease issue to provide a convienent excuse to put the animals on massive amounts of medicine to keep them alive. The pharmaceutical companies give the drugs to Atkins' production facilities at almost no cost because it will provide them with very helpful job security once the populations of people are sickened by disease and chemical contamination.

Finally the environment around the factory farms has been contaminated enough to begin another phase of Dr. Atkins' plan, the ground water and soil are polluted beyond any reasonably safe level. This effects the quality of vegetable growth. Soon the farms that produce vegetables and grains are contaminated beyond safe levels to eat. Ecoli is linked to spinach and soon lettuce. The public begins to be outraged at what could have caused this food contamination.

October 30, 2006
(page 10 started at 2:45AM)

While the mass population of people are shocked to learn that vegetables could be contaminated, Dr. Atkins celebrates in excitment. Because now he has the opportunity to blame vegetables and grain products like bread for causing birth defects in humans. Dr. Atkins gracefully and professionally appears on television and in the other forms of news media to offer his help to the people.

He explains to the masses of people that vegetables and grain products were always harmful. Atkins does this because he has recognized that now is the time when the people are properly conditioned to believe and adopt the Atkins mythology. Atkins explains to the people that they have been betrayed by the vegetarians. He tells them that the vegetarians were consumed by aspirations of eco-terrorism and needed to blame the meat eaters for crimes that the vegetarians were planning and implimenting.

The people are shocked and amazed. Atkins explains to them that if they continue to eat mostly vegetables and grain products, they will die from obesity and disease.

October 30, 2006

Because of Atkins having a background in the medical profession and because of the contamination of vegetables, the people are finally ready to believe him. Thus he indoctrinates them with the mythology of the Atkins diet. The people begin to abandon their former lifestyles and eat more meat. Finally the sales of meat begin to increase.

The advertising agencies are prompted and they market the Atkins diet mythology with brutal efficiency. All of the sudden, nearly every restaurant is required by law to offer Atkins approved menu items. This is achieved by the earlier buy out of key important politicians. Some entire businesses and restaurants are based on nothing except the Atkins diet. One of which is strategically named the "Low carb market".

Everywhere the businesses begin catering to the Atkins mythology. Some people see it as an opportunity to make more money by offering "Atkins approved" menu items at their restaraunts. The people who are psychologically weaker than other people are the first to try the low carb foods. At first they seem to like the taste of the food. Although it is meat like they have eaten before, they claim that they think the Atkins way of life is better for them.

It isn't too difficult for them to like the taste of the food since it is flavored with fats, sugar substitutes, and sodium to cover it's lack of flavor. As earlier mentioned, this taste deficiency in foods is because of the lowered quality of foods. But that does not matter to these intellectually and psychologically weakened people because Atkins plans to completely control the food system anyway, and if these people want to eat anything, they will have to eat his food.

As the diet plan progressively succeeeds more, Atkins steadily increases the effectiveness of his subliminal messages that are put into the Atkins advertising campaigns. With this in effect, the people become more hoplessly dependant on Atkins for their information needs. The effect this has on the people is that they have to rely on Atkins to indoctrinate them with his (Atkins) mythology because the vegetarians and balanced diet people have been discredited in society.

So now the people don't believe in eating a healthy diet consisting of larger portions of grain and vegetable products. They are indoctrinated that things like taste, flavor, and avoiding carbohydrates are what is important. It is also important to remember that a person must be active in their lifestyle to stay healthy. Dr. Atkins knows this and if he required people to not be lazy, then people would be more resistant to his mythology.

November 6, 2006
(page 14 started at 12:35AM)

Atkins does desperately want people to stay addicted to the guidelines of his mythology while lowering their health. Dr. Atkins then begins planning to discredit the people who he sees as a threat to his agenda. One easy and quick way to help himself look like an important and caring person about people's health is to talk about obesity and it's causes. He has almost no difficulty in getting people to believe that vegetables and grain products cause health risks because he (Atkins) earlier made sure that the vegetarians were identified as eco-terrorists.

Atkins further discredits the vegetarians and people who eat grain products by saying that those people had to excercise a lot more than normal because those foods (vegetables and grain) had bad effects on the body. Atkins elaborates his explaination by telling them about carbohydrates burning in different ways. Atkins also tells the people that excercising is actually bad for health. To help indoctrinate people on this topic, Atkins talks about the stresses of excercise on the body.

November 6, 2006
(page 15 started at 12:46AM)

People surprisingly believe what Atkins tells them because they are much more receptive to information that tells them that they can give minimal effort and recieve maximum benefit, they are encouraged to think of this philosophy as efficiency. So all across society the people become more lazy. They park as close as they can to a business that they intend to go into. They often park in firelanes and handicapped parking spaces because of their level of laziness.

Dr. Atkins loves this effect because it will decrease the health of the population and they also begin to think of Dr. Atkins as a friend of the people. Atkins still knows that if the effects of laziness show, effects like increased obesity, then the people could be more influenced to revolt against the Atkins mythology. Atkins then begins eliminating any potential threat that could limit the success of the Atkins mythology. Once again Dr. Atkins calls upon the pharmaceutical industry to help him accomplish his goals.

November 6, 2006
(page 16 started at 2:25AM)

As before, the pharmaceutical industry creates and markets drugs. This time the drugs are diet pills. These are drugs like Cortislim and Formula 9. They are nothing more than stimulant drugs like speed and caffine, but with other ingredients as usual. Some of the drugs are marketed directly to intensify the popularity of the Atkins diet mythology. One such product was "One-A-Day Carb Smart". It's gimmick was that it was a vitamin suppliment that contained more Biotin "to break down all of those fats that you will be taking in on your low carb diet".

With such strong marketing of these products, the public complies because of the pressure. Dr. Atkins makes use of the social aspect of the diet mythology. He (Atkins) institutes an organization or agency that infiltrates society to help boost social acceptance to the Atkins diet. In the towns and cities, these agents pose as common people, health professionals, and lure the people into accepting the Atkins diet even easier. They are paid by Atkins' interests to eat at restaraunts while only ordering Atkins approved menu items.

November 6, 2006
(page 17 started at 2:36AM)

Another objective that these people are paid to do, is when they purchase these Atkins approved menu items, they are required to sit in a highly visible area of the restaraunt, and excessively talk about how much they love the Atkins food and it's diet plan. The purpose of this is to cause more and more attention to be attracted to the Atkins diet in hopes of boosting the sales of Atkins approved items like meat. While these agents are eating in the restaraunts and see someone eating anything like grain or bread products, they are required to provoke conversation about how eco-terrorists have planned to poison vegetable and grain products to be blamed on the meat eaters.

This psychological control is carefully used to discourage any alternative to the Atkins diet. After this happens for a few months, the people assimilate such conversational patterns into their daily life. This helps to accellerate more usage of the Atkins diet. Soon people talk about how they don't even miss the carbs that they stopped consuming. Then it becomes like a rite of passage to social acceptance if you eat nothing but meat.

With the pharmaceutical industry producing drugs that "burn fat" to basically conceal how obese that people would get from eating all of the fatty meats and not excercising, Dr. Atkins sees that his diet mythology can hold control over the people for as long as needed. The agents also have a duty to make vegetable and grain eating into a taboo so the people will be even more likely to avoid ever going back to a healthy diet and lifestyle. As a precaution to keep people from ever consuming vegetables and grains again, Atkins has all vegetable and grain production to be stopped indefinately for an investigation into the causes of the contaminated vegetables.

This causes the vegetable and grain industry to virtually vanish at once. Stores no longer sell vegetable and grain items. They also increase the size of their meat departments. As the "investigation" goes on into the contaminated vegetables and grain, Dr. Atkins begins to gather the most significant advocates of balanced eating people and puts them into public scrutiny and shame. Dr. Atkins publishes a report about the "eco-terrorism" of the vegetarians. This causes many of the vegetarians to be convicted in court and many of them are executed.
