I love that!

I agree with Ken that sometimes the whole world seems against the lowcarber... because it is. Breakrooms full of cheap "treats," miles of fast food on the way home, family celebrations full of tension; Other People are a lowcarber's greatest challenge.

Smoking broke its hold on people partly because it got more and more difficult to find a place to smoke. How well would any addict do if every road was full of drive through places to get their drug?

There's no question in my mind that sugar and flour are drugs. We now have scientific proof as laid out in the book Wheatbelly. So a lot of this pushback is likely just the unacknowledged addict, rationalizing.

War on bread! Don't be ashamed of pasta! Kids gotta have candy! It's harmless.
