Dang did I kill the thread with my pot talk?

[camle]

oh well, I'm not that vain. Don't fret about it.

[secret garden]

No, they'll be back. Maybe everyone's learning how to post articles for our camle.

[camle]

if that was any democrat in that pic, there would be hell to pay. remember "snipers wanted"?

[Gabz]

Either that or their reading the latest report from that bastion of true scientific study the Center for Science in the Public Interest:

Summer Treat: Ice Cream 'Isn't Health Food' -Study

I honestly think these people are absolutely and truly deranged - they have never met a food they didn't hate.

[NeoCaveman]

I honestly think these people are absolutely and truly deranged - they have never met a food they didn't hate.

They are hell bent in sucking every last bit of enjoyment out of life.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I was worried that my true confession was too much.

[camle]

don't these folks come under the heading: "Yout tax dollars well spent making life better for you!(whether you like it or not)"

[Gabz]

I agree with you both!!!!!

[secret garden]

But frozen yogurt is just fine, isn't it?

[hobbes1]

No...Fire one up...

[Gabz]

Not according to the article and these nut jobs at CSPI.

That's because most of them don't have what we would call a life. I don't like sweet stuff, but I'll take that 1lb. rack of "unhealthy" ribs any day....and I don't even weigh 118 lbs, so tell me again about my bad diet, health nannies.

[xsmommy]

just as long as you don't go libertarian on us!

[secret garden]

Oh rats.

[Texan5]

If you read the labels of a lot of the frozen yogurt, most of it sounds "worse" than the ice cream. I like the fruit ice pops, myself. Not too sweet, if you get the ones with no sugar added.

[Gabz]

That's because most of them don't have what we would call a life.

Give the girl a CEEEEEEEGAR!!!!!!!

I remember when I was growing up dessert was mandatory after dinner - even if it was only a cookie. Accoding to my grandmother sweets help digestion.

One of the first "real foods" the pediatrician had me feed my daughter was ice cream, because of the fat content.

Don't you know that when I pulled the ice cream out of the freezer that night the only kind I had was 'fat-free' and health reasons was not the reason for it - I couldn't get that particular flavor in any other version!!!!

[xsmommy]

Guess Kobe is making things all better... ; )

[secret garden]

Hey Slim, what are you doing with fat-free anything in your house? ;)

[Gabz]

I ignore 99% of what these people say.
