I'm pretty sure I would have been able to go my entire life without ever having to see that picture.

/shudder>

[JustPiper]

Are you trying to cut fat, too?

Are you kidding me? Steak is my middle name ;)

[JustPiper]

Did you get your carb-buster at GNC?

Cheaper at Walgreens, do you have one near you?

Short walks now mean going to the mailbox and getting out of breath and six months ago, doing six miles on the mountain bike was a half hour little run.

Am I complaining? Yes. I don't mean to but you have to understand, less than a month ago, I didn't think there was a thing wrong with me.

This T-fat may go the way of things like Fen-Fen. If it does, it won't be because of what I say or do.

I just don't like the idea of a little timebomb next to the chocolate chips in the cookie.

Take care of yourself. There are a lot of unsuspecting things out there.

The point I'm trying to make is how is anyone supposed to figure out that there would be some sort of danger to your heath in something so unrelated as a chocolate chip cookie.

Once again, for those in the back of the class...  If you have that many problems, or allergies that are that serious, you simply cannot think that anything is "unrelated" and you have absolutely no business eating anything for which you haven't personally verified the contents of each and every ingredient or preferably made for yourself.  Processed food is just not meant for you.

The same thing happened to me and I don't have any allergies. Do you even know what Hydrogenated oil is if you weren't told? Until that article about the Oreo cookies was printed, I'll bet, unless you were a chemist or doctor, you never heard of it.

By the name and an application of reasoning, I could deduce that "hydrogenated oil" was most likely oil in which hydrogen gas had somehow been injected or blended for some reason.  However, that is beside the point.  Like I said before - if you are so afraid that something may harm you in processed food, go do the research and find out what the ingredients are.  If you are too stupid or lazy to go do all the required research to determine what each and every ingredient consists of in processed food before you eat it, then it just isn't for you.  Make your own food and quit your damn whining.  But let the rest of us eat what we want!

And when YOU get sick, do you want the health workers who are caring for you to refer to you as a "thing"?

Consider it done.

[Shooter 2.5]

Wow!

So you somehow knew about the t fat even before it became a problem in the news. Where did you do your heart research? Why didn't you inform anyone at least two years ago so you could have saved me all this grief?

[RIGHT IN SEATTLE]

The fat is in their budget.........

and between their ears!

[wcbtinman]

I may be fat, but they (the govt) are ugly, and I can lose weight.

[harpo11]

Ah, pardon me, but has anyone taken a good look at the bellies and rear ends of some of the inhabitants of Congress lately?

[Just another Joe]

PUFF!
It's actually admitted that tobacco was only first on the list.

[ladyinred]

Your picture is absolutely too funny for words!
Your words are absolutely too much like the liberals.

[Great Dane]

The writing was on then wall, when they came for the smokers.

[VermiciousKnid]

While I've never tried the no-carb diet (don't have to), I have always wondered whether the "no sugar" rule extended to fruits. Does it?

Thanks for the reply,

[Celantro]

Yeah, Atkins says to stay off fruit too. Berries he likes but not fruit.

[Focault's Pendulum]

You mean you haven't heard of the water saving toilets?

Now you got my head spinning....You mean water goes in the toilet?
