But that is a function of market share than anything else. The low
carb "craze" still did not come close to involving even a plurality of
the entire citizenry or even large minority. Never have seen a
study/survey, etc., indicating that more than 20% or so of obese (or
even just overweight)) Americans were on ANY diet. So, the amount of
newsprint generated by a diet, doesn't really have any correlation with
how many people are on it.
