Funny CW moments page 591

[Finnegans Wake]

Whipped cream covers a multitude of sins.

And other things.

They belly up to the Lunchables section, and Dad scans the prices "OK, these are 3 for $7, so go ahead and pick out 3."

LOL, for $7 you can get a pack of organic roast beef and a pack of raw cheddar at Trader Joes and probably make 8 "Lunchables" out of it.... sans crackers.

I used to dig lunchables though as a kid.... they always had an Andes mint!

And other things.

Ya see, some people *might* consider that sinful?

So, I'm pretty new here, but I think I've probably read almost every page of this... yeah, I have a lot of free time. But I started reading The Paleo Diet Recipe book, by Loren Codain (I think), and apparently Paleo is low-fat. I don't think this is really a CW moment, but it made me do a double-take, and I had to share it. Also, for the first few pages I've read, they seem to still think in a CW attitude, except for the Paleo part. (This is in no way supposed to be rude to anyone who likes the book, I just couldn't believe it! I though Paleo was high-fat as well.)

Okay, so for an actual CW moment, I have to take a PE course for all my credits in school, and I was nearly pulling my hair out reading the "nutrition" section. They actually tell people that Unsaturated Fats are GOOD for you! And Saturated Fats are BAD! I actually yelled at my monitor when I was reading. I went and ate bacon as revenge.

Cordain's version is (was?) low fat.

yeah he recently wisened up on that from what I read.

Hard to be low fat when you don't just eat the steaks and throw the rest of the animal away.

I ordered a "chef's salad" from a local restaurant (lunch meeting for work, they pay for the lunch.) I was expecting iceberg lettuce, a couple sorry tomato slices, and cut up lunchmeat and more cretins than iceberg lettuce. I the salad, sans cretins, with this... stuff on the side. Figuring it was supposed to be a dressing of some sort, I put it to one side and eat the salad dry. I called the restaurant later on and asked what their normal dressing was. "Fat free ranch!" Upon further inquiry, I discovered the whole damn salad was fat free.
Apparently, it's their "diet meal" to cater to the healthy crowd, although everything they serve is low fat/ high carb. Their pastrami is turkey pastrami. The salad was the only thing they served that wasn't a sandwich.

Same thing at a movie grill I went to last week. They offered nothing with fat in it to go on top. Only they had no cretins, or croutons, either.
