Low Carb pasta.....
Feb. 4th, 2005 12:06 amSome foods just aren't meant to be tampered with.
Ever have low-fat blue cheese dressing? It's awful! It looks and tastes absolutely horrid. Stick with the real stuff. Ditto that with fat-free grated cheese; It feels and tastes like sawdust. And low-sodium cream of mushroom soup? Bleah.
Where there's fat, there's flavor. And that is why a foodie like me is loath to try low-fat foods. I remember an episode of the Simpsons when Homer is eating a rice cake and saying, "Hello, taste!" I have to agree with Homer.
( This time, I tried some low-carb pasta. )
So, what is it with this low-carb food craze? Is this a fad that will go away soon? And has the Atkins plan been scientifically proven to work as well as people say it does?
