They have the public at large thinking that is all the diet is based on.

Our target audience is not the media, it's us low-carbers
We should not be too sensitive to what the media says. Low-carbing is now popular, depite all the trash talking we got a few years ago (and still do).

I don't see it as being seen as "not healthy", just that that is all we eat.

I assure you, we will never have a mug that says "Only eat meat"
Slogans are meant to very short, yet say a lot, since you can't summarize low-carbing in 4 words. It's very much like saying, "Hey, we've had enough of your low-fat, high-sugar stuff shoved in our faces, we need meat, we need fat, it's essential and it's helthy!"
But you know what, I think it's good to offer choices. So I'll try to get more variety from CafePress. Here's what we currently have:

I'll order a bunch of alternatives, maybe the "I've got firends in low-carb places", and who ever wins, gets to choose.
