It's suggestions like that, that gives low-carb a bad reputation. As if no consideration is given to the healthfulness of a food, only the carb count.
This shows they don't understand what low-carb is about. It's not just counting absolute grams of carb. It's about replacing highly refined products with natural unrefined wholesome food.
Even if there was a little more carbs in strawberries than in an oatmeal cookie, we would still go for the fruit, because 1) it's chock-full of vitamins and anti-oxidants and 2) it tastes 10 times better than some crappy commercial cookie.
Of course, this isn't what the commercial cookie industry wants to hear, so one must wonder if they aren't behind this.
