Sorry but you just demonstrated one of the biggest problems with patents. Patents do not protect an idea. Patent law states that ideas can not be patented. Only the implementation of an idea can be patented. If someone else comes up with a better implementation, they can patent it. However, nowadays, if you try to patent an improvement, you will be sued for patent infringement. That's why patent law cannot be fixed. An fix is temporary. It's only a matter of time become some lawyer uses patent law to protect ideas and gets a judge to agree. As long as patent law of any type exists, ideas will be frozen and innovation killed.
Carbs are killers. The world is better off with fewer of them. If people ate these products in moderation, they wouldn't feel compelled to stock up. The sooner this stops, the healthier the world will be.
