Actually, my opinion is that it's not shenanigans for the manufacturer to pre-subtract the fiber before calculating the calories, carbs etc. That is the more accurate method, and will give consumers a clearer picture of what's in the food they're buying. It will eventually become law in the US and Canada ... and then everyone will be doing it, and there'll be consistency. And low-carbers won't have to stand there doing mental math at the grocery store .. the subtracting will already have been done
The shenanigans are those manufacturers who still include the fiber in with the carbs AND also include those fiber grams in the calories.
