I don't like the CSPI any more than the next person, but that doesn't mean they're not capable of saying something intelligent. I still think the guidelines are a good idea. It's helpful for those following low fat, and I think it'll be helpful to us. Sure I read the label, but there's no excuse for companies to deliberately mislabel their products to try to dupe me in the process.

I don't like the 'net carbs' claim because of the sugar alcohols. There's disagreement on whether you can subtract the entire amount. As long as the carb count is broken down, let us do our own math according to our LC plans.
