Good point Rachel,

My interest in a response is not to convert the closed minded, I tend to ignore them. But I'd like to collect a nice collection of responses (over time) to the FAD description for those who do low-carb, but feel they're doing something as quick fix, and think it maynot be healthy.

Example: The list says "beware of diets where you have to buy special products, etc." This may convince some, through a casual read through, but when/if they think of it, this describes low-fat, high-carb diets. The most important food elements in the low-carb diet are meat, eggs, cheese etc. And that maybe the motivation by food manufacturers to come up with such slogans against non-processed food, so they promote diets that market mainly processed food.

Wa'il
