“They are more expensive, because sugar substitute is three times more expensive than sugar. People will pay more for something that helps their lifestyle. In supermarkets we’ll be placing the Rolos and Kit Kats away from other confectionery because people on low-carb diets avoid the confectionery aisle like the plague – they will be sold alongside health foods.”

Well, yes, people will pay more for what they percieve as being more healthy. Unfortunately, by placing them next to the health foods will legitimize them.
I'm not against having snacks, etc made LC. People have the right to try and capitalize on a trend. And people have the right to snack when and if they want. BUT, they should be in with the other candy, cookies, ice cream, etc....just like the rest of the reduced sugar, fat, and/or calorie foods! |
