Our local wal-mart has a low carb section now. They have Sara Lee bread at 9 carbs a slice, which still seems high to me, but at least big companies are seeing and responding to the low carb market.

How long before these companies start asking for Government intervention/bailouts...like the Airline Industry has already done.

People are making smart decisions, and the companies are complaining...

Remarkable..

My opinion is that Sara Lee, has their reputation to protect, and the bread is as low as they can reduce the carbs and still good tasting.. That is a great sign that this industry is heading in the right direction.. :)

I've been in Wal-mart's low carb section. For those in need of a Chocolate fix, that is the place to go. Try the DeLite products (green packages). They have a caramel nougat bar covered in chocolate that is only 2 grams of carbs that you will swear is full of sugar - 90 cents to boot!

You can subtract the grams of fiber, probably 3, which yields 6 grams of net impact carbs, ie, carbs that affect insulin. Fiber does not affect insulin.
