Low Carb Baked Potato? This has gone too far

[darthtexan]

I am fucking pissed off . This low carb craze has gone too far and it is now time to do something about it. Now farmers are saying they are having to come out with a low carb potato. What the fuck? Does this mean that now all baked potatoes are going to be low carb? As far as I understand the baked potato industry is a homogenious market with almost perfect competition. That would fucking piss me off if now all baked potatoes are low carb. Anyone know anything about this?

Carbs in the standard potato have a shitty GI index anyway, unless you add some fat (butter or whatever).

I believe in low carb, otherwise you overfill glycogen stores and just store it as fat.

Some low carb products are actually pretty useful. I found a low carb cereal at BJ's Wholesale that has about 6g carbs and 13g protein per serving. Not too bad for a bulk or cut. Just gotta watch not too have too much, its cereal so you can't forget that it is processed.

It's like the new reduced carb coca-cola. Probably one of coke's brightest move in years -- screw diet coke, and screw regular coke, just mix them half-and half and we'll re-package it and sell it to all these adkins mofo's, they'll eat it up, heh.
