Just found this site.

Not sure if it is a good thing or not.

Well, the prices seem good, but the focus on candy, cookies,
and chips is unfortunate. The selection is disappointing
also, but that's a better price for the Atkins syrups than
I've seen elsewhere.

Also, their website isn't a resource hog, and loads quite
quickly on my ancient system & connection. That's a plus.

Thanks for the heads up.

April.

It's the happenin' thing. "Low carb" is the new "low fat", they
just switched the end word to make the sellin' easier. I wonder
when the fad will be "low crap" and the fad will be to sell only
food with real ingredients in it LOL. (Hey it has zero crap grams
I can lose weight on it!)

In the meantime, the produce section of my grocery store has
plenty enough low-carbohydrate goodies for me.

LOL... can't be too soon for me! Why don't you start your own brand -
"Crafting Mom's Low Crap" foods. You'll make a fortune, and we'll all get
healthy and lose weight!

'Course, it'll never happen. There's not enough profit in it when you put
in real food instead of chemicals and "crap".

Real food doesn't cost more than crap, that's not the problem. The
problem is the FDA would come down on your labelling because
"low-crap" hasn't been legally defined. ;)

Yeah, if the feds ever defined "low crap" what would the politicians do
during the election season. Or for that matter whenever they are dealing
with the public?

FTR, the Carbolite chocolate covered p-nuts are just like the M&M's brand,
very good! However for me it is a once every month or two treat. I just made
one of my fav coconut chips recipe (5 minutes to prepare) and am enjoying
some with my 3 year old:) This stuff is OK but my cooking is better!
