ilanaramaSo 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.

It is amazing how fast the entire food industry changed with the low-carb/Atkins fad. It is the only thing you see when you go to the grocery store and so many restaurants chains have altered their menus. Makes my head spin.
