Low-carb fad seems to be fading away; food banks getting donations of surplus diet food
by Mike Adams, NaturalNews Editor
Just last year, nearly every food product imaginable had a "low-carb" alternative, and shoppers were eating-up those products. But, almost as suddenly, as it came about, the low-carbohydrate fad seems to be fading fast. And now all those low-carb products are turning into un-eaten stockpiles that are ending up at food banks.
- Super-size that bacon-double cheeseburger, just be sure to hold the bun!
- Well, mark your calendars, because the low-carb craze appears all but dead.
- There was a time long, long ago -- last year -- when there was scarcely a product on the market that didn't offer a "low-carb" version -- bread, pasta, ice cream, even beer.
- But now surplus low-carb Atkins diet foods that were never sold are being shipped to food banks in Appalachia.
- Products for which people were once willing to pay top dollar now must be given away.
- Apparently the public has learned, once again, that there's no way to make the weight disappear without eating less and exercising.
- Better put down that bacon-double cheeseburger, bun and all.
