I can pinpoint the exact moment when I realized that the low-carb craze had gone too far.
It was on March 9, when a brand-name pizza chain - which shall remain nameless, because I only shill for large corporations when I'm handed a big bag of bling-bling - dropped by the Sun offices with something like a dozen varieties of their new low-carb pizza.
Plus, I'm not naming them to spare them the public humiliation of me saying that their low-carb pizza was terrible.
It was bland, tasteless, and generally an insult to the word "pizza." Of course, my co-workers quickly pointed out that I was munching on the cardboard box that the pizza came in. It turned out the actual pizza was far worse, so I went back to chewing the box.
