"Fat-Free Half-and-Half?" Dr. Andrew Weil

The Foolish will not) 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. 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...... |

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.

Not even whole wheat flour which is what the USDA-ADA-PCRM-Cargil et. al. axis. -- This space unintentionally left blank. |

On late night TV I saw an offer for a testing device for diabetics. If you bought one they sent you the Betty Crocker recipe book for diabetics. We can only imagine what that must be like! LOL |
