unclear on the concept

So I'm having some chips and salsa, and I notice on the salsa label: "LOW CARB"

So I look at the nutritional info label, and I see that a serving (2 tbsp) of this salsa (505 chunky medium hot, in case you're curious) has 0g fat, 0g protein, and 2g carbohydrate.

Er - that's 100% CARB.

By this logic anything is low-carb, as long as you eat a sufficiently small portion.

This reminds me of the old days when fat was the bad guy, and olives were labeled as having "only one gram of fat per olive!". And what's the calorie count for an olive? Yep, you guessed it- 9 calories, which, of course, made it 100% fat. But hey, as long as you stopped at just one...

My favorite low-carb "WTF?" bit of advertising is 0-calorie diet soda. Oy.
