I have a sinister view of why the media demonizes low carb.

After automobiles, I think junk food companies are the biggest advertisers.

The junk food business has it "made in the shade" they can buy inexpensive ingredients add sugar (also cheap) and salt and create salty sweet crunchy things that keep the zoo animals (us) happy and make them rich.

Practically speaking, if all developed countries stopped eating carbs, could the world's agriculture system feed us? And at what cost.

Maybe we are better off with our own little secret. A famous Marie said, perhaps prophetically, one fateful day, "Let them eat cake." Perhaps we should say the same; for the world to adopt low carb eating, we will need a revolution in food production or a lot fewer people.

It is annoying when others don't understand and when our friends criticize us, but in the end if you know what is right for you, you just have to smile and say thank you for eating all those carbs, so I can have the protein.
