Damned aliens. I'd thought it was just another stupid fad, and so did a lot of other people, but none of us ever suspected it was a plot to take over the world. Bastards planting a spy among us to popularize some crazy diet they claim makes you lose weight while CRIPPLING YOUR BRAIN. Had to wait twenty years for it to take off, but it did. And next thing you know, the orbital mind control lasers are going off and no one has any carbohydrates in their brain to shield themselves. Punched right through tinfoil, but stopped dead by good old sucrose and starch.

Not everyone was on the diet, but enough. Overnight they have an army of loyal slaves, running around trying to get everyone else to let down their guard. No one even noticed it at first, not until they put two and two together and realized that all the random attacks on sugar mills and bakeries weren't so damn random. Those that tried to speak out got stuffed with meat and veggies, till they were drooling along with the rest of them. But not us, oh no. We've been eating rice every day and making our careful plans. We've got seven hundred tons of pixie stix and we're gonna make you alien bastards pay! Freedom!!!
