One of the main problems in western cultures is that the fruits and vegetables have been 'bred' into high carb, nutrient deficient varieties. The original sources, that is the original grains, fruits and vegetables are nutrient dense and contain a lot less carbs. Even the soya bean is a classic example. The original bean wasn't any thing like the present. You don't have to be a Rhodes Scholar to see the marketing and profiteering advantage of such tactics. Plus the shelf life has been altered, further enhancing marketability and profit, due to reduced storage and transport costs. Personally it doesn't affect me, but there is no denying the obesity epedimic, and the all out marketing blitz on children. I just think our society as a whole should protect it's children. Having said all of the above, exactly the same tactics have been used on animal products. However the manufacturers just can't compete on the overall cost, variety, storage and transport issues, and thus marketability and profit suffer.

So, 'carbs rule! Fund another experiment to 'prove' it!'

'Crunchy Schlunks have been proven to lower obesity and contain even less than .0000000001 gms of fat. Olympic champions rely on Schlunks to win gold, and they contain low glycemic carbs, which in a scientific study conducted by the prestigious University of Wherever, have been proven to burn fat and leave you and your family bubbling with energy all week long. The added calcium ensures your kiddies bones will develop properly, and the rich, chocolatey and caramel flavour (from 'healthy' fructose and natural 'sucrose' will have them coming back for more!!!!'

The horrendous thing about the above dribble is that it is actually toned down, and it that it actually works.
