It's Officially an affront to nature

[martha]

I was at Trader Joe's tonight and I saw low carb, sugar free white chocolate.


W
T
F ?

That was so wrong on so many levels.

1. White chocolate is gross. It's not even chocolate
2. Low carb chocolate? WHY? Just eat the damn real stuff. A little chocolate never killed anyone.
3. Sugar free chocolate is reserved only for diabetics who might actually die if they eat the real thing.



Jeez.

 

[MrBrau1]

Goes in the same realm as non-alchoholic beer. WHY?

 

[fah]

I agree completely.

I am doing weight watchers and while chocolate is not a daily treat for me, it is still a treat. Treat yourself and buy really good chocolate, just don't do it everyday.

And low fat cheese. Why? I want my fat to taste like fat otherwise I would go and eat a carrot.

 

[fah]

I forgot about low fat cheese. I don't trust cheese that wont melt.

 

[Cleasai]

Deep Fried Carrots Otherwise known as Tempura. Non-Alc Beer I can understand because my dad used to drink the stuff. It would curb him away from drinking too much the real stuff. And yes, there is such a thing as too much. What I don't care for but understand the need I guess is for Decaf-coffee! *gasp* Sacrilig! That's not to mention that decaffenating coffee is a hard and expensive process!

 

[FizzingWhizzbees]

It's like decaffienated coffee. What's the point?

a rule to live by

I love the Shape smooth 0.1g of fat in every carton yoghurts
Everything in our house is healthy fat free/ virtually fat free stuff, one day I am going to ask for ice cream though.

 

[martha]

I miss caffienated tea. The decaf stuff just doesn't taste the same. And decaf mocha lattes...well, it's the only way I can do it, so I do.





I can't drink caf. It's an issue you don't want to know about.

 

[FizzingWhizzbees]

See I can't not drink caffeine. My first year at college I was so busy that the only way I could stay awake to study was through drinking huge amounts of coffee. And now if I don't have my huge amounts of coffee I just fall asleep.

 

[Screaming Flower]

low-fat cheese is of the devil.

 

[zoney!]

devil's cow!

Found somewhere in Wisconsin of course.

Probably Oconomowoc!

 

[FizzingWhizzbees]

That's never a word!!!

 

[Screaming Flower]

damn cheeseheads.

 

[Salome]

1. White chocolate is gross. It's not even chocolate

real chocolate is as dark as dark can get

 

[FizzingWhizzbees]

real chocolate is that 80% cocoa content stuff.

When I first started weight watchers I went overboard with low and no fat products. They tasted ok but after speaking with a nutritionist she advised that a lot of the lower fat products have increased amounts of sugars or sugar substitutes to make the products taste good and that could lead to other problems.

My mum checks the amount of sugars in all the food we buy, she was told to get the low fat things for herself and my sister, so we all eat it.

 

[Salome]

I have decided that fat is my favourite food group

 

[beli]

I dont eat red meat very often but when I do I like sucking on the fat curl around the edge of a lamb cutlet.

That's good to hear. I was actually shocked when I started reading labels and found out that things that were supposedly low fat and healthy were just full of sugars and chemicals and not as healthy as I was lead to believe.

We need a food forum

We like our cheese full of fat and other things that are bad for you.

Low-fat cheese is probably the product of some other health-conscious state ... like California.

Don't forget the tofu cheese we have out here.

 

[nbcrusader]

I'll agree on the white chocolate part. Why do we have this stuff any ways? It's not like it tastes like anything good.

As for the low carb stuff, I'll eat it to stay on Atkins. Too much, however, does some weird stuff to your system.

 

[joyfulgirl]

And fat free frozen yogurt? Why? It will make you fatter faster than Ben & Jerry's ice cream.

Margarine. Why? Bad for you. Eat butter, people!

And don't even get me started on fat free milk. Its existence offends me.

 

[beli]

And don't even get me started on fat free milk. Its existence offends me.

milk - fat = water

 

[joyfulgirl]

milk - fat = water

which is what coffee with fat free milk tastes and looks like...giving it a disgusting taste, consistency and color

 

[bonosloveslave]

I don't understand the concept of diet caffeine free Mountain Dew

 

[Screaming Flower]

i'm drinking fat free (or as we call it here - skim) milk right now. yum.
