[QUOTE="RoseofSharon, post: 1097113, member: 272945"] As already said, carbs are cheap, they're convenient and addictive. Shops that sell majority sandwiches and wraps don't have the added cost of providing cutlery (either disposable or washable). For businesses it all comes down to profit margin, which lets face it is greater with carb items than low carb ones. However some places such as itsu do some nice options but to be honest I haven't anywhere that's marvellously cheap to eat healthy. Truthfully I have always spent more on my grain free food (which is mostly, but not all low carb) than my friends spent on their sandwiches etc. Although I did just remember that subway provide a bowl of meatballs (4 meatballs in a bowl) for around £2, which I used to buy frequently. Places like McDonald's you can order your hamburger sans bun. But that's the best advice I can think of top of my head. Generally speaking low carb is seen as a 'fad' diet and therefore those who eat it are charged accordingly [/QUOTE]
