Wow...instead of complaining about falling sales, how about putting some of that propoganda money that they plan to use to convince everyone that their product is good for everyone into product development for lower carb products? That way, everyone wins.

It will be interesting to see what they come up with along the lines of "confusion-resolving" campaigns. Potatoes do have some vitamins and minerals and are fat-free, but there's nothing in a potato that can't be gotten from another [low carb] source that makes it uniquely necessary for good health. Not to mention the glycemic index of the average potato.
