For something to be economically feasible it has to appeal to a fairly large
segment of the population and/or be something they buy quite a bit. I like
the LC Ketchup and Hood's milk but don't use very much of either one. If
every low carber followed this same pattern it would mean a pretty small
market segment. I have said for a long time that I think they made a
mistake in advertising it for "low carb diets" instead of at least also
targetting diabetic who are a much larger market, though a lot of them don't
low carb very well. Many would prefer to eat their pasta and shoot up
insulin. I think this will gradually change as the medical community
figures out that low carb is the best way to treat diabetes. A lot of LC
product manufacturers were burned by expanding too rapidly during the boom
and will be slow to come back into the market with them.
