Why is there virtually ZERO interest by supermarkets in UK in selling LOW CARB foods?

'Shop round the outside', I heard recently. Most of the processed stuff is down the central isles.
That advise does need to be qualified, because underwear and magazines (found peripherally) are not the tastiest, but you do fined butches, fishmongers, cheeses etc. round the edge.
I do make an exception - the wine isle! I dive down there 'occasionally'.

Oh, and to add - statistics estimate about a third of the population of this big-city (Aotearoa's biggest - Auckland) has blood glucose regulation problems, ie either prediabetes, and 8.5% with actual full-blown type two diabetes.

That’s a startling statistic! Can you provide the link to this information, cheers

I hear that Amazon UK maybe closing its food delivery service and replacing it with their supermarket chain Whole Foods. It's an American chain, but I imagine the Whole Food stores would be very similar to the Canadian Whole Food stores. The ones I've visited in the US are a bit shabby , the stores in Canada are upmarket. That would mean they would be in the upmarket arena and would be a direct challenge to Waitrose and Marks and Spencers food halls. Whole Foods Canada prides itself on purchasing from local suppliers , organic , high end, GF and Low Carb foods as well as a good selection of cooked and cold food self service, in house fresh pizzas, sushi and ready meals.
I sound like I'm plugging Whole Foods , but we have two in my area which I frequent. They are expensive.

Edited to change a sentence

Not for everyone sadly I tried with pasta into oblivion & it didn’t work for me, neither does the potato but I wasn’t so bothered about that

Cooked pasta swilled under the cold tap and reheated seems to work for me. Tried it with rice but with less success though now I use cauliflower rice instead.
