nutritionista:

Rachel, from my new favorite health/nutrition blog, Shedding It and Getting It, rants about those 100 calorie packs. I hate those things. Have you ever — EVER — felt satisfied after eating one? Or do you just feel unsatisfied and a little annoyed because whatever you were eating tasted far worse than the original? Plus, they’re so processed it’s not even funny.

Check out the rest of the blog while you’re there. She has me almost convinced to buy a Magic Bullet!

 So it’s funny this is mentioned cause me and Robert went grocery shopping last night and had a conversation about these things. We navigated through the “Goodies” section of the store and i fantasized for a moment about devouring a chocolate Entenmann’s Donut (my dad worked for them when i was little- so that’s half of where the weight problem stems from). Have you had one? I would kill 3 toddlers and a baby unicorn for one- it’s that serious. In the same aisle were these “100 calorie packs” of Twinkies, cupcakes, and all sorts of delicious nonsense. I think these are pretty useless- just cause its still garbage food! Sure you ate 100 calories- but you ate 100 calories of GARBAGE! If you are going to eat garbage you might as well go all out and eat the regular stuff only eat a small portion of it. DUH!
