Did these food manufacturers ever notice that the LC way of eating works best when people *don't* eat franken-ated formerly high carb food? Did they ever think that maybe the people who would find the most success on LC plans simply wouldn't be buying their junk, and that the people buying the junk would be more likely to quit LC?

Don't get me wrong, I loves my occasional Atkins ice cream, and the LC tortillas are da bomb. I do get LC bleu cheese dressing (which is generally LC anyway). But that's about it. The reason I'm going to stay LC is that the naturally LC foods seem to work best for me.
