I can find points of agreement and disagreement with the article. Like it or not, for a large number of people it really IS a fad. Right now, it reminds me of Beanie Babies. Starts out small, now EVERYBODY wants in on it...people are clamoring for low-carb everything, you go to buy a bottle of Keto Ketchup, they're sold out. The few low-carb products I use and have come to love are often back-ordered.

The companies are rushing to cash in while it's still hot, and pretty soon the people who started buying all things low-carb will move on, leaving a trail of "See, I TOLD you it was just a fad!" And life goes on for those of us who are making it a lifestyle change.

And still buy the occasional Beanie Baby...
