But in the end, I think the focus should always be on whole foods that you prepare yourself, at least most of the time. And I didn't see that much.<br /><br />As far as the tweets go, I think often tweets are overly sensationalized to get attention. And that's what their tweets sound like. I agree that they can lead to a lot of misinformation for a lot of people. It so depends on your background, eating style, and knowledge. 140 characters just don't fit all. Personally, I don't mind the bacon reminder so much. I eat bacon maybe twice a year (if that), and I like to be reminded that it won't kill me! :) But I already knew that anyway! And I see of course your point that many people shouldn't be encouraged to eat more bacon!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882349728914726613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339763320840481095.post-47093008155047707232012-02-06T01:34:39.383+09:002012-02-06T01:34:39.383+09:00I've thumbed through this book - I found it at...I've thumbed through this book - I found it at the book store. And really...the entire thing kind of annoyed me. Of course most of it just doesn't make sense, and how much can "advice" can we really stand? I'm sort of tired of all of it.<br /><br />For me everything is in moderation. And that includes regular butter and granola - two things I can't live without. Bacon? Now that I can live without.Ameenahttp://fancythatfancythis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339763320840481095.post-75185043257071007332012-02-05T21:50:28.580+09:002012-02-05T21:50:28.580+09:00Again....please send this to a newspaper! Here'...Again....please send this to a newspaper! Here's the thing. Consumers need to know what they are eating. But more so, they need to be aware of what they are TASTING. After eating one whole slice of bacon, I am done! Why? It is highly flavorful and fatty. Just like having ONE mini piece of chocolate. People say "you eat such tiny portions!" Well, honestly? I have a BMI of 21, so I EAT ENOUGH. My portions are perfect....well, I guess except maybe my wine portions!<br /><br />That being said, I believe that when you crave something, you should really listen to your body. Sometimes, ordering what you want is awesome. Can you order HALF??? The food industry should start making "mini menus" rather than having people compare "well, I really want the fried steak, but I have to go grilled" will leave a person feeling depraved, which is likely to make him overeat....<br /><br />These are my favorite posts, Melinda!Special Khttp://thespecialktreatment.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339763320840481095.post-69077552591767655462012-02-02T21:30:15.770+09:002012-02-02T21:30:15.770+09:00Melinda, I LOVE THIS POST! Seriously, these tweet...Melinda, I LOVE THIS POST! Seriously, these tweets are making me mad too!!<br />Ok, My favorite was the one about the Cracklin oats vs. PB puffs. I love that you called out the other benefits of the Cracklin Oats, which are NOT found in the PB puffs!<br />Did you hear that Frito Lay is getting sued for having GMOs in their "natural" chips? Yeah, I laughed because there is NO definition for natural! No one oversees this claim, so I would be SHOCKED if Frito Lay loses this one (if they do, other companies EVERYWHERE better watch out!).Gina; The Candid RDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034788087113648183noreply@blogger.com
