Ask and ye shall receive

I've started emailing companies/restaurants/stores whose products I'd
like to eat, but can't because they're so high in carbs. I ask them
politely to consider coming out with a line of low carb
foods/meals/products. If we all start doing a little bit of this
whenever we get the chance, then perhaps things might change. Things
seem to be changing a bit in the US (from what I've been reading here)
but not so much in Canada.

Email your local grocery store, favorite restaurant and major (or not so
major) food manufacturer. Maybe if they get enough emails, things will
start to change.

It's easy, just go to the company's website, click contact us and either
fill out a form, or send an email.

Remember to be polite, but short & concise. You want to convince the
people who are reading your email, to take it one step higher, to their
superior or to the boss. You want them to be your ally, and don't
forget, they're just people.

You can also send regular mail or phone their 1-800 numbers or go in
person and talk to someone. Often, they will be receptive to your requests.

Good idea. I already emailed Stop & Shop. I'll email more places
as they come to mind.
