De holder på med å surre det skikkelig til i England også! Diettister sier om Gwyneth Paltrows barn som spiser lavkarbo at
Paltrow is putting her children, aged eight and six, "at risk of nutrient deficiencies", warns one. Her children "won't be able to think straight as their brain won't be functioning", says another. In the same Daily Mail piece, it is even observed that Paltrow's children are thin – shock horror! – as if this was automatically cause for concern.

Daily Mail får det til å høres ut som om barna sulter når de ikke får kabohydrater i bøtter og spann, mens Guardian har fattet poenget med lavkarbo: "The fact of the matter is that there are no nutrients (vitamins, minerals, micronutrients) in starchy carbohydrate foods that we can't get elsewhere, and often in a superior form." Joanna Blythman avslutter artikkelen " Yes, children do have slightly different nutritional requirements from adults: they need more fat and protein. But filling their plates with empty calories in the form of white pasta, bread and rice is no nutritional kindness."
