x_X; Sorry. I got d/c when I clicked "post" on the other topic... Anyways...

Recently I went to the grocery store and noticed a whole aisle of diet food. (mostly items that claim to have 0 carbs). I also noticed a couple of items that claimed to have 0 carbs, that originally wouldn't have carbs. I compared the non-carb item with the same type of item from another aisle. I found that the non-carb item was nearly double the price of the other item. Are people really that ignorant to fall for stuff like that?

Also, I have devised a plan to earn millions from ignorant people. My product will be called "Diet Water" and will contain no carbs. The other product will be "H1O" and will contain only half the carbs of regular water. I will jack the price up to nearly double the price of regular water. Do you think that I can get away with it? Considering how ignorant people can be?

They're scamming. They just want to be rich because they know about everyone in the world wants to be skinny.

They can't if you report them or something. Don't they have these people inspect their stores like.. every year or something?

anyway..haha i know..i would just get a nice diet plan, with real food, and excersize regulary. not pay for all these foods that are twice as much as a nice apple..or w.e. foods are all carbless.

There's an aisle like that? And they're ALWAYS twice the price of the regular? :/ Since it's lower carbs, they should lower the price! But then your evil plan won't work! :/ If your plan did work, I would probably be tricked into buying because I'm slow. lol =X

Ooh! Diet water! *buys*

I would so bow down to you and kiss your shoes if you actually got away with that.

But yeah.. people are really ignorant with their diets.

my teacher was talking about how the low carb or no carb diet was bad becuase u need carbs and if u dun have crabs and all protein or sumthing like that.. ur body produces sum excess stuff and causes ur piss to turn from normal yellow to like dark yellow/brownish color o_o which of course is bad.. leading to sum kinda disease.. srry but i dun really remeber specifically wut it was but either way its bad.. =P so dont go on a low carb diet?

aren't carbohydrates like... what you need to metabolize? I mean sure you can live off of fat but... that's sorta disgusting. Plus it actually requires energy to break down fat -_-
