Shouldn’t there be some sort of law against having more than 2 meetings on the Friday before a long weekend?  That’s what I think.

I admit it, I do eat packaged foods sometimes.  Freshly prepared is better, of course, but you can’t beat packaged stuff for convenience and portion control.  I eat a Smart Ones meal just about every day for lunch.  I also incorporate “lite” products into my diet pretty often.  Fat-free sour cream is one of the greatest inventions of our time, in my opinion, and I don’t remember the last time I ate full-fat mayonnaise (oh wait, yes I do.  It was on a BLT at Denny’s parents’ house.).  Still, I do draw the line.  I don’t like to eat foods (other than, say, water) that have zero calories.  It just seems to bend the laws of nature, and if there’s one thing I know about bending the laws of nature, it’s that it always come back to bite you in the ass.  Haven’t you seen The Butterfly Effect?  I haven’t, but it might have been about something like that.  Final Destination, too, I think.

These products the sort of thing I try to avoid.  If they’re fat-free, calorie-free, and carb-free, what on earth is in them? OK, I found the nutrition information and ingredients.  The “bleu cheese” dip (quotes mine; I’m not sure why they don’t have to put them in quotes, because I’m not seeing any actual bleu cheese involved) contains water, vinegar, salt, and lots of things I can’t pronounce.  I wonder if there are actual lumps in it, to mimic actual cheese.  I kind of hope not.  Oat fiber seems to be a popular ingredient in these dips.  Very peculiar.  Also, someone should remind their web designer that the millennium has, in fact, taken place, and it’s ok to move on now.

I am concerned by the fact that the chocolate syrup and pancake syrups do not have ingredient lists available.
