I was afraid this day would come and it looks like we're really
screwed this time. Hood's CalorieCountdown LC milk is gone! They've
come out with several new products called SimplySmart and the existing
CalorieCountdown ones are gone. The bad news is the SimplySmart is
low fat and NOT low carb. This just happened because I just bought a
carton of the existing CalorieCountdown chocolate this weekend.

This was one great product that AFAIK, will be impossible to
replace. It's really sad that we're back to the low fat thing
again. We can all contact them and complain, but I doubt it will do
any good. Probably 6 of us left here and I don't know how many of you
had it available where you are. Hood is based in MA. I'm sure the
product just didn't move well enough off the store shelves.

I'm not surprised to hear this, it slowly disappeared from our Krogers here,
they would have it once in a while, then not at all. I didn't drink it,
only used it in my LC muffins and have switched to yogurt for them.

I want to scream when people talk about how they can't eat any fat and how
expensive their statins are. I try to educate them but it is hard when I'm
going against their doctors' advice. I did keep my SO from going on
statins, he's definitely in the old man group where research has shown they
don't do any good. I was most concerned about the reported cases of memory
loss, he has none to spare. His doctor said if he wasn't going to take them
he should eat oatmeal so I have been more than happy to fix oatmeal for him
as a substitute. Carbs are not a problem for him, he has never been
overweight in his life.

I'm wondering if they haven't been phasing it out for a long time. I
never used it, but did check for it when this came up before -- and it
wasn't there. So our stores haven't carried it for a year or two, at
least.

Oh no! Looks like I was wrong! :)

Here's what happened. I could not find it here at my local Shoprite
anymore and the shelf space was now occupied by their SimplySmart low
fat product which I had not seen before. So, I went to the Hood
website and looked under the milk product category. It was not
there, just the other Hood mild products. From that I concluded it
was gone. After JK's question I just googled on Hood
CalorieCountdown and it turns out it's still on their website under
it's own CalorieCountdown product heading, completely seperate from
the other milk products. It's strange that they list all the other
modified milk products, eg fat free under milk but put
CalorieCountdown elsewhere.

So, sorry for the apparently false alarm. So, I guess it's time for
me to go ask Shoprite to bring it back or find it elsewhere. I've
done some looking already elsewhere and haven't been successful. The
last one I bought was Chocolate at Wegmans last weekend, that was all
they had and the shelf space was also occupied by the SimplySmart
product that I had not seen before. I do hope it continues to be
available here at some store.
