That's what surprises me. A smart food company would be working on low-carb alternatives and be prepared to sell to this new market. Trying to force the market to stick to high-carbs would be insane and could lead to a major liability problem down the road. It would weaken their defense against the trial lawyers in the obesity fight.

You notice, they don't attack the success of the diet itself, they just state that it will hurt sales of grains.

Would love to find low carb breads. I use corn tortillas one tortilla has 11 carbs and you can put just about anything in it.

My thoughts exactly. But try to find anything out there. I mean, it's incredible! It is a huge huge market and no one is attempting to step in and fill it. Insane!

Kind of reminds me of the situation that The Big Record Labels are in vs. Napster/Kazaa and other P2P software.
