>It's pretty well known that food in America has too many carbohydrates added in as fillers. When it was determined years ago that 'fat' was unhealthy in American diets, food manufacturers were scrounging around looking for alternatives as 'fillers' in their products in order to provide a fat-free product. They pretty much settled on carbohydrates. No one looked at the different types of 'fat' back then and their effect on diet. Now many dieticians and nutritionists argue that premise (Dr Atkins for one) but sadly what's available as prepackaged foods has not changed yet and will not until changes are recommended from 'acceptable official sources.'

Thanks, Tracy. That's sad...
