"Shoppers act smarter
Americans are buying more nutritious foods than ever before, according to a
Grocery Manufacturers of America consumer survey. In a survey of primary
grocery shoppers, 73 percent of respondents reported they are buying more
nutritious foods and beverages than in the past. Specifically, consumers are
looking for products that are: made with whole, unrefined grains (66
percent); reduced- and low-fat (65 percent); fortified with vitamins and
minerals (59 percent); reduced- and low-calorie (54 percent); sugar-free (49
percent), and reduced- and low-carbohydrate (42 percent)."

Although low-fat still seems to be in the lead.  That should not be
surprising in view of the fact that most doctors and "nutritionists" are
still recommending it.

Maybe if they call it "nutritious" and "healthy" instead of LC, it will
make a difference to most.

Unfortunately, they are pushing grains. I'd say give it to the Russians
for half price and lets grow more asparagus and broccoli.

I'd say 'let's squeeze it for fuel for our vehicles or, better yet, swap
it for oil with the Russians'.

Low fat is/was not nearly as productive for me as reduced carbs and I
did not feel nearly as well. in addition, I always wanted more food.
lost a lot of lean tissue too...and it is very difficult to regain that
at my age.

Live and learn.
