They are making a low carb potato now!! The madness!
What's next? A low-protein fish? High-fat rice?
*Sigh* back in the good old days, people seemed to know what their bodies needed, and balanced, healthy lifestyles were rife. Hopefully we can rediscover this lost art...

I blame the ready availability of convenience foods. They taste good and are easy to eat, so people eat 'em. Fried foods, cake, chocolate... easy to acquire, easy to devour. They're turning into the 'staple' rather than the occasional treat, and people are unwilling to make their lives less pleasant in order to, well, make their bodies more pleasant.
