Personally, I think that it will be very good for true low carb eating choices in Canada. (Please note, I am one of those ugly Americans, and only visit Canada every few years!)
Unfortunatley, I think it will be used as PR tool to denigrate and negatively influence public opinion about low carb eating, and will probably reduce the number of people who actually try this WOE.
Real, whole foods are the key to success at low carbing, and most of the "low carb" products are not even very low in carbs.
They are just lower carb versions of the same junk food that these companies have been selling prior to the new popularity of low carbing. But they do attract a certain number of people who would otherwise not try low carbing, and those folks will be lost.
Those who actually read the well written, and well researched books about low carbing will still discover the truely effective elements of the WOE, and will make the kind of headway that many of us on this website have done, over the years.
I would hope that in researching and writing your paper you would explore the special interests that were behind the new regulations in Canada. I strongly suspect that you will find that the wheat growers, the bakers, the sugar manufactures and the corn syrup companies had a big part in the decision making.
