I wouldn't worry Annie. There are plenty of people who seem to think they know what is best for everybody but in reality they only know what is best for themselves. There are a lot of food stuffs that are unnecessary but that does not stop people deciding that they like them.
This labelling of "bad" and "good" foods often ends up with people feeling guilty when they eat them and telling themselves off which is counter productive as it stresses them out which in turn can cause an upset digestive system and that makes them feel even worse. They are then mentally and physically upset. They end up sabotaging their new way of eating because they feel so worthless.

Exactly I do so agree with all you say and some people need to get off their high horse about diet and remember what they do is only best for them not for everyone else
All I wondered was why you thought that people seem to think bread is necessary as I have never heard anyone say that about bread beforeThank you @catherinecherub , nice to see we are in agreement.
We all speak from personal experience, and that was what I was doing in my post above. Pity it was misinterpreted. But then that goes with the territory, on forums.
Sorry didn't mean to patronise. I'm use to a football sites full of kids.
We don't have a Waitrose that I visit but I can see why they might struggle to sell just one product. Perhaps the range idea might be better. If they can get a section of low carb stuff (like the glutton free section in my local Sainsbury's) then they could be on to something.

How on earth do you manage? You must be terrified of going out in public. One whiff of a Snickers bar... I shudder to think!
Yes I am a bit of a recluse sadly!! Was I'll- health retired from my job as a midwife because I am the same with Latex. I had Anaphylaxis in my local Sainsbury's because they were having a Nectar points promotion & there were balloons!! Am also the same with apples pears & all other stoned tree fruit - don't have to eat them - only need to be in vicinity. Lots of other things too!!
I do get a bit frustrated because people just don't understand allergies & think an allergy means you don't like something or it gives you a rash?!! I have had people eating an apple for example refusing to move away from a shop doorway so that I could get out- resulted in me collapsing & emergency ambulance. Think she might be a bit more understanding after that- but it seriously adds to what is already a stressful life?!!
@StormyDog
I didn't feel patronised. I'd heard of loss leaders, but never had a proper explanation before. Thanks.
@Heathenlass
Had forgotten the whole 'staff of life' thing. It's embedded to Biblical levels, isn't it? I had forgotten that.
I have emailed hi-lo to ask if they have plans to supply Sainsburys in Scotland. Will let you all know if they reply.
