Thus, I get myself into trouble unless I am very careful. A little serving does not work for me, because then I just want more!Kakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147881066133817064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-22906201271140932742013-04-21T03:15:54.942-07:002013-04-21T03:15:54.942-07:00Looking forward to reading your results of this ex...Looking forward to reading your results of this experiment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-41512395462421287952013-04-21T03:14:15.271-07:002013-04-21T03:14:15.271-07:00Yes yes and yes!

I only know this because the kids old school painted the cafeteria RED to promote kids finishing their food at lunch time.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-70659374192691108952013-04-20T14:42:36.587-07:002013-04-20T14:42:36.587-07:00Jan, I can't wait to see if it makes a differe...Jan, I can't wait to see if it makes a difference. I would love to see whole foods placed in the area where the muffins, doughnuts, and cookies roam "free range" if I can influence that space, I might have to learn to do a cart wheel!! ;)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454945489632370863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-60138939775686427392013-04-20T10:58:32.447-07:002013-04-20T10:58:32.447-07:00When you pick up a snack bar and the label says 50...When you pick up a snack bar and the label says 50, 60, 70% carb it is not healthy.<br />Be interested to hear your feed back regarding the green and red labels, makes good sense to me.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-31993446080725977562013-04-20T09:03:55.591-07:002013-04-20T09:03:55.591-07:00I hear you Norma.

I don't use them any more unless it's Costco for toilet bowl cleaner. I think there are a lot of people who operate under the influence of big food- like processed food zombies. Walking diseased!

I called him out for going against everything he'd correctly preached for years about crap disguised as "healthy," we got into a little flame war, I never read the site again and probably am banned from it.<br /><br />But back to the piece at hand...and this really isn't on topic, either...does ANYONE in the public, no matter how well- or poorly-educated; no matter how media-savvy or ignorant of advertising/manipulation...does ANYONE really think there is such a thing as a "healthier" candy bar? Healthy candy is an oxymoron in itself.<br /><br />It is, however, not surprising, that even small tweaks in packaging fool people into thinking they're doing a good dead by poisoning themselves. And, that said, as we've both said before: avoiding packaged/advertised foods is probably the biggest "thing" we can do to crate and preserve our health.Normahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11949876371473945014noreply@blogger.com
