NORTHFIELD, Ill. -- These are the times that try cookie makers' sales.

A diet heavy on Oreos, macaroni and cheese, Oscar Mayer hot dogs and
Philadelphia Cream Cheese, washed down by Maxwell House coffee and
Kool-Aid, has fattened the bottom line for years at Kraft Foods Inc.
But now the nation's largest food manufacturer is moving to cut back
on some of its indulgences.

Growing obesity, the popularity of low-carbohydrate diets and worries
about potentially artery-clogging trans fats all have combined to hurt
sales at the company,

All I have to say is, I drive by the factory sometimes, smells like
happiness.

Well, their acquisition of Fruit 2O is a good move, IMHO. I am
afraid to see what they are going to put into the products that
will be coming out this fall, though. Trans fats etc., I'm
afraid. These companies REALLY need to listen.

I keep getting kraft advertisement recipe books in the mail. A lot of
recipes do not give the nutritional contents and those that do may
give the calories and the fat content but they rarely ever give carb
content.

I figure they must be trying to hide something. As long as they omit
the nutritional info, the recipes will continue ending up in the round
file and will never see my dinner table.
