I love cheese. Now I can only eat a little bit without harmful effects. If I eat too much cheese, I get sick. I used to love bread. Since I developed an allergy to whole wheat, I cannot eat bread anymore. I seem to have lost my taste for bread in general. Chocolate is another favorite. Some theories say chocolate is good for your health. Some say chocolate is not good for you.<br /><br />DianaBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-36150126885337210852017-11-27T18:02:17.696-05:002017-11-27T18:02:17.696-05:00When we were growing up, we had very few of the fo... When we were growing up, we had very few of the food products discussed here today. We did eat Campbell Soup but that was mostly a Saturday lunch thing, if my mom couldn't think of anything else for us to have for lunch. All of those snack foods, like the Twinkies, etc, were off-limits in our house. I didn't eat them until I was in college when I purchased them from the dormitory vending machines. (I just HAD to find out what I was missing!) To this day, I have still not tasted Kool-Aid. I remember that we used to beg our mom to buy it for us, and she just told us that it wasn't good for us and would destroy our teeth!<br /><br /> We were allowed to eat things like potato chips and Fritos at the holidays, and sometimes in the summer if we were having a picnic somewhere. Soda was reserved for our birthdays and the holidays. Now that I think of it, my mom served us very nutritious food despite the fact that money was often very tight. When I was in high school, my dad was diagnosed with a heart condition and our food choices were even healthier after that. Mom did serve us Kraft macaroni and cheese from time to time, mostly on Fridays, and I never liked it! I always wanted to try fish sticks but my mom vetoed that, and instead we had fresh fish on the Fridays that we didn't have the macaroni and cheese.<br /><br />DebRo Deb Romanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01650858888197217258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-53627788546575470622017-11-27T17:49:42.433-05:002017-11-27T17:49:42.433-05:00I never heard of Little Debbie products until I wa... I never heard of Little Debbie products until I was in my 40s. I have still never seen them. I was at an antique shop somewhere in the middle part of Connecticut and found a Little Debbie doll missing one shoe. I thought it was kind of funny, and I bought it. At that time I had no idea what the origin of the doll was. It was another couple of years before I found out that there was actually a snack food company that made Little Debbie products. If I can figure out what I did with the doll, as in find it in a very cluttered closet, I'll give it to my nephew's little girl.<br /><br />DebRo Deb Romanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01650858888197217258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-79815074379593976842017-11-27T17:16:06.009-05:002017-11-27T17:16:06.009-05:00Ann and Hallie, here it is.

They are kind of like the B-team of the snack case business to Hostess and Drake's. Or they were at least. They are extremely popular. I will, on occasion, grab one of their little packages of 6 mini powder donuts but otherwise just stick to the peanut butter wafers.<br /><br />I don't think it is just a southern thing though.

Five pound bags of Dominos sugar and ice cream. The ice cream not because I had got religion. I simply could not stop myself from eating it all until there was none left in the carton. Swearing off only those two things and my weight dropped 20 pounds over time. I still need to lose 20 more to reach an acceptable Body Mass Index. Now I read that artificial sweeteners are a no-no. (They provoke cravings for carbohydrates apparently.) I enjoy 4C half & half ice tea-lemonade. It's made with a Splenda sugar substitute. I can't tell the difference from sugar. Though, like KoolAid the price per pound is astronomical. Now that I am past 60, I find I eat a lot less than I did when I was younger.
