I used to get their "Light" magazine. Their idea of "diabetic" recipes
was to take out sugar and insert artificial sweetener. No regard
whatsoever for total carbohydrate or fat contents. After writing to
their editor twice and being ignored, I canceled.

Reiman Publications did have some nice magazines. We especially liked
Country Discoveries. I actually got paid for several submissions even
though I was a subscriber.
