Just another example of the need for Tort Reform...

That is a dessert that only a woman could love.

I think I read somewhere that women and men get different things from food. Metabolism and hormones give women a strong affinity for chocolate and rich desserts, and men an affinity for things salty, fatty and protein rich, like a monster steak, nachos, pizza, etc.

[NautiNurse]

Very clever!

[SamAdams76]

Clever.

[CaptainK]

I have an affinity for both. What does that mean?

[Gabz]

Good for them!!!!!!!!!

And you're correct about Tort Reform!!!

[VadeRetro]

I must be in touch with my feminine side. I like a big steak, yes, but a French (Whoops!) Freedom Silk Pie and coffee with cream make the perfect finish.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Are you implying that women don't like meat? (lol)

[OldPossum]

I noticed the reference to Banzhaf. This man has to be the biggest nanny of all time.

[Mean Daddy]

Shouldn't that be Torte Reform?

"How much tofu can a person eat?"

None, as far as I am concerned. If I want to eat a sponge, I will just buy one at the hardware store. Besides, studies have shown that tofu shrinks the size of your brain (granted, this would not be a concern to liberals).

[mtbopfuyn]

Yes, but I don't see a space for two witness signatures or a notary.

Or tart reform, as the case may be.

"I applaud the work he did (against) the tobacco industry, but the food industry isn't covering up what they're serving people. People are just electing to eat it."

Wanna bet? The food industry is promoting low-fat foods that are much more dangerous than the fatty stuff. The T-Fats and Hydragenated oils are a bigger killer than the pounds people put on.

Legislation is changing the food labels so the t-Fats will be listed but they excempted the fast food industry.

[JAWs]

A glutton or a gourmet.

With all due respect to your comments, I still think that we know cheeseburgers and fries are not the healthiest of foods - we know eating twinkies and oreos is not going to add muscle to our bodies. We all know that lean meats, vegetables, fruit and grains is a proper nutritional balance - we make the choice to go to the fast food joints or to buy junk at the store -

Do you honestly believe that anyone who wants an Oreo is going to look at a new label and say, "Damn, this has T-fat, better put it back"?

I don't like rich desserts (too sweet), but chocolate, esp. milk chocolate, is yummy. :)

and men an affinity for things ... like a monster steak,

Yummmmm! I luv steak.

You have such a way with words. Got me laughing on that comment. By the way, Good morning.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Hi there A - nice to "see" you...... and so glad I was able to make you smile this morning.......

[Arrowhead1952]

I was in a BAD mood coming to National Guard drill this AM. You made me laugh and feel better. I was listening to a taped interview with Tx. State Senator Gonzo Barrientos on the way in. That man lied around every question he was asked. His office WILL hearing from me again. The last few emails have never been acknowleged.
