I, for one, am happy that some of these low-carb convenience foods are
appearing.  If this world were ideal, I would be eating organic, home-grown,
pesticide-free, cruelty-free, no-hormone, no-nitrate, grass-fed food.  I
would also be able to casually lounge around all day, free for hours to
prepare my food, or at least be able to take the time to go shopping.  I
envy those who have this, but this is not my reality.

Sometimes I am stuck hungry, without food or a way of making food, and need
something easy.  Yes, the easy way out is the American way, but that's the
way it is for me.  Grabbing a low-carb burger from Hardee's (which, by the
way, is actually fairly tasty as far as fast-food burgers go--they've upped
the quality of their beef, I think!) is a much better choice than nachos
from Taco Bell.  Or I may (gasp!) want to enjoy a beer while socializing.
Knowing which beers have fewer carbs is useful information to me.  Do I
think that drinking beer and eating bacon all the time is a healthy diet?
Of course not!  But I certainly don't think it is a bad thing that more
information about this is out there.
