Of all the low-fat things, the fat free half and half is
probably the best example of taking things to an
extreme. I mean, how much half and half does a
person use? I put a little bit in a couple cups of
coffee a day. Even if I was watching fat it's not
enough to worry about. And the low fat or fat free
products like that taste so bad, why anyone would
use them is beyond me.

They are starkers *terrified* of fat. However, the same people will
buy the coffee drinks at *$, basically coffee flavored ice cream. Or
maybe Star Bucks uses fat free cream.

Another classic. I was at Walmart yesterday. At
the checkout they had one of those recipe magazines
for diabetics. Right on the cover was a big picture of
bannana pancakes. That seemed bad to me, but I
thought maybe they were made with soy flour or
another alternative. Looked at the recipe, and it called
for a cup of good old flour. More great dietary tips
for the diabetics......

Gotta keep the insulin sales up. Not even whole wheat flour which is
what the USDA-ADA-PCRM-Cargil et. al. axis.
