I picked up a copy of Low Carb Living at Borders this weekend. The cashier had a few wisecracks to make about low carb eating. I just smiled and said "you know I always have to educate people about low carbing, what is it exactly that you don't understand?" He just looked at me with a blank look and then said "It is just a money making gimmick." Of course, I laughed and said "Well as long as it is working and I feel good, then I am worth every penny." He was more subdued for the rest of the transaction and bunches more polite. It is getting to be almost fun to enlighten some folks.

well, for some companies, slatelee, it IS just a gimmick. they care about low carb not at all, and are just in the market to make a quick buck, then leave when they think the "bubble" is about to burst.

but that doesn't make the WOE bad - and it doesn't say anything about whether or not it works.

And let me know how you liked my article "beyond carbphobia".

How true LCandrea. Some of the marketing is unreal! Will post again, when I get a chance to read my magazine.... Thanks
