Indeed! Angela and I went to the low carb store again today. Oh and thanks
to the Boston's pizza delivery guy who parked (not in a spot) and directly
behind my van. Of course the guy parked next to me was fast asleep. Had
that spot been open I may have been able to (or maybe not) maneuver my car
over that way so I could have gotten out. So I was stuck sitting there for
close to an hour. I had no clue who the car belonged to or where to go
looking for them. There are all sorts of businesses around there and it is
a shared lot. But I digress...

Anyway, they had a whole aisle of Atkin's products in that store. Many (if
not all) of those things are loaded with soy and probably sugar alcohols.
But I know plenty of people who think they are eating a healthy diet if they
eat those along with their meat. It's sad.
