If you like’em eat’em!
That’s what its like to live in a free country with the worlds strongest economy.
I guess that’s tough on marxist ninnys in Appleton.
Cap’n Crunch, unfortunately, scrapes up the inside of my mouth. It is really sharp.
But delicious, I agree.
I believe Rebecca Solomon is the same goof-ball who decided to save the world by conning Mayor Bloomberg into banning trans-fats in restaurants. NYC is a cesspool of social agitators.
This is AMERICA, not China!
No food police ~ YET!
Good for Michael Phelps ~ the best role model I’ve seen in years.
Eat hearty, move fast, work your tail off.
I’ve met the creator of Tony the Tiger at an ad agency in Denver years ago ~
Campbell~Mithune, IIRC.
Wonderful guy ~ he would’ve been so proud of Michael’s endorsement!
I see nothing wrong here.
1. Frosted Flakes are awesome
2. This sounds like a clash between the first amendment and the food police.
She's a nutritionist. This is her life.
And Michael Phelps's life is that of a successful athlete about to cash in. He isn't a hero. He isn't a role model. He's a marketable celebrity. If other people want him to carry more freight than that, that's their problem.
I like mixing Splenda, erythritol, and xylitol in a 2:1:1 ratio, and then cutting the recipe's "sugar" by 1/3 (e.g., 1.5 cups of sugar ==> 1/2 c. Splenda and 1/4 c. each erythritol and xylitol) -- they work great in combination.
PLease, even a sugared cereal with 1/2 a cup skim milk serving clocks in at 150ish calories, hardly is it a sin against youth. And frankly Phelps burns 10,000 calories a day, he can pretty much eat whatever the hell he wants, so who are you to say its not a food of a champion???
Obesity is an issue, but a bowl of frosted flakes in the morning isn’t the cause.
Actually there isn’t nearly as much sugar in FF as one thinks, just most of its on the surface, a serving of FF without milk is all of a whopping 114 calories. Breakfast cereals across the board pretty much clock in with 1/2 cup of skim milk at most 150ish calories per serving.
Obesity is an issue, but sugared breakfast cereals aren’t the cause.. perhaps of tooth decay, but not obesity.
Dean Martin didn’t drink in real life.
I love your tag line! It’s so me.
You don’t know anything else about her. What makes you think you’re so special?
There's a whole generation of self-righteous, narcissistic nanny food fascists (almost as bad as the “nattering nabobs of negativism”) always wanting to tell you how to live and eat.
Much of todays food culture is narcissism and self- indulgent.
Also food in America is a giant BUSINESS constantly advertised on TV encouraging people to eat massive quantities for the least excuse. There are people, companies and labs constantly inventing new “foods”, just to sell more stuff. And God bless bacon and more cheese on EVERYTHING!
Much of food is emotional or psychological and relates to boredom, stress, anxiety and loneliness, etc. In fact most food is probably consumed more for those reasons than sheer hunger or need.
And those are my extremely astute, insightful and trenchant observations. Ignore them at your peril (LOL).
Try it sometime. Maybe the two of you will turn your attention to more significant matters than what cereal a champion chooses to endorse.
But what about “Spam, Spam, Spam, bacon and Spam”?
“Exactly! I can’t ever remember being home in the summer except for sleeping. We’d ride our bikes everywhere, build treehouses and forts, play a pickup game of baseball in sandlots or wherever we could find a place. Those were the days.”
We must have grown up together in the same town or era at least.
Exactly is right. And school let out for summer on about Memorial Day and didn’t start again until after Labor Day. School was about like prison.
As soon as it was light and you had breakfast, bang, out the door into the “woods” or down to the “creek” or on your bike. We liked to ride our bikes in the rain through muddy fields, etc. We didn’t have TV until I was about 12. It was a blessing.
I was skinny as a stick until I got married the second time around age 40 and started eating that damned Hagen Dazs.
Do they still have recess or PE everyday?
Unintentional irony alert.
Obviously Rebecca has too much time on her hands.
LOL! Hey Rebecca, have you seen the food that 14-time gold medal-wearing, record breaking Olympian consumes?!
