Ha! They can’t even call this product “milk” – it’s a “dairy beverage” – that should tell you right there that there’s a problem. Sort of like American Cheese is not really a cheese, but a “cheese product”. So, I hadn’t even heard of this product, but I just read a post on a forum [...]

Beware! Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta Changes Their Ingredients!
Yuck! Most of the time, I use Ronzoni Healthy Harvest whole wheat pasta, but sometimes you just want something that tastes like good old fashioned white pasta, so I also keep Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta in the pantry. I just finished off a box, and glanced at the ingredients list before I tossed it into [...]
Cheerios Aren’t What They Used To Be
Today Hungry Girl posted a question on her Facebook Page: Anyone out there try Chocolate Cheerios? Whatd’ya think of ‘em? http://www.facebook.com/HungryGirl?v=feed&story_fbid=266498302257 No surprise, of course, her loyal followers were gushing all over them! One naive woman even compared them to cocoa puffs, thinking they were healthier. Are people really that stupid, or is it just [...]

Fast Food Nation – Book Review
I found the audio version of “Fast Food Nation” by Eric Schlosser, at my local library. It starts off a bit slow; I actually stopped listening for a few days, but I am glad I gave it another try. By the time I started disc 6, I was riveted. It broke my heart to hear [...]
Halloween – And Not One Bit of Candy!
Good for me! We went over to Mike’s sister’s place last night to be with the kids for Halloween. We also brought along the dogs, which was really fun! Anyway, I am happy to report that I didn’t have one bit of Halloween candy last night! Wasn’t even tempted. I think it’s like when I [...]
Junk Junk Nothing But Junk
My husband went to a vending show the other day, and came home with a huge bag of snacks. The only good thing about this was the bag itself. It was a large mesh bag that could be used for grocery shopping! LOL In the old days, I would have been thrilled! I would have [...]
