Makes low carbing seem like a walk in the park. I wouldn't mind the low/medium/high Gi classifications, providing that these were spelled out in some legal, enforced manner as to exactly what this means numerically for the folks doing the labeling. That way if it says low, then this means less than 50, or whatever.

I think it would be poetic justice if poor countries like Bangladesh suddenly have a windfall due to GI of their rice...of course no doubt you would have to pay more for it on your shelves due to the US
tendency to subsidize homegrown products. (World trade agreements have also meant that poorer countries end up being flooded with US grown produce and can't compete... some poor Korean farmer suicided in front of the WTO meeting due to this issue)

Anyway, I'm all for knowing what the GI is on various products, along with the carb count.
