I didn't notice her saying exactly how long they'd been on "no carbs", but if "after a while" was any less than at least 2 or 3 weeks, chances are they were still feeling the effects of induction flu, complete with brain fog from that, as their bodies tried to switch over to running on ketones, instead of carbs.
So if that's where they were in their "no-carb" diet, I understand them going for the crackers. I'm sure they felt completely justified in eating a few crackers too, because it wouldn't be good to show up at her Oscar rehearsal while in such a foul mood.
Crackers also sound so dietarily innocent, compared to so many other carbs they could have eaten - They could have decided they needed king size candy bars and full sugar Big Gulps instead.
But with crackers, there is still somewhat of an aura of good-for-you about them. Even the 7-11 where they stopped probably had hearthealthywholegrain Triscuits.
I'm not sure where she got the idea that we live in a no-carb culture though - if anything, it's becoming more and more difficult to find much these days that isn't almost 100% carbs, or at least doesn't have some kind of carbs added to it, especially at a processed-food-haven such as 7-11.
