"The American public has been led astray, as the government and
industry have used shaky science to demonize natural fats and promote
fat-free dairy products, processed grains and sweeteners."

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......

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.

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

How is it even legal to label it "fat free half and half"? It could
only be called "Imitation fat free half and half".

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
