Carbs are cheap to buy so the mark up is greater.
Carbs are cheap to buy so the mark up is greater.This is always such a strange argument to me. Tesco will just as happily sell you bacon and cheese and nuts instead of bread. In fact probably more happily so since those things cost more! Tesco care about you buying food from them, I struggle to see why they would bother getting involved in a diabetes conspiracy when money spent on general advertising would give them a better return on investment!
Does this make sense too?@zand Which is why they are cheaper to buy, but there is no law that says profit margins must be greater on bread than cheese. The simpler explanation is that Tesco makes money selling food, so it makes sense for them to be involved with a charity about a condition strongly connected with food. It is a PR exercise and why you don't see Halfords, or B&Q or Petsmart sponsoring these types of things.
I ignored this remark initially because I didn't see any sense in it. I don't understand what you are saying? Anger? Temptation? Huh?Truly a silly remark. But as a diabetic myself, I get how angry you must be in how much they try and tempt you everyday you go shopping.
Good one @zand ! What irony.Does this make sense too?

I think you should all look into what Zoe Harcombe said about the sponsors of the eat well guide,(since the word plate has been superceded! )
Food producers do have a vested interest, it's all about good old fashioned profit.

You have obviously missed out the work that Arjun and Charlotte do in publicising the low carb message.Would the owners of this website that we are on want a cure? No of course not.
The more diabetics, the more profit for them. Both website are 'a free lunch' so your argument doesn't hold.
The difference is the non-profit gives the money back to research and that is always better for us than a for-profit that gives nothing back.
Low carb is a life long therapy.You have obviously missed out the work that Arjun and Charlotte do in publicising the low carb message.
Excellent point @urbanracer and for those of you in that position I applaud you whole heartedly !Just to clarify a point @Celsus - whilst I believe the DCUKMOD role is a salaried position, the rest of us do this in our spare time as our 'gift' to the diabetic community.
Hi Ellie, the diabetes org one (according to my DN) is the NHS 'official' one, ie the one they refer us to and support. I personally prefer the one we are on now but she said in relation to diabetes uk, 'read everything with a pinch of salt'!!!!
