Decisions, decisions

soiree \swah-RAY\, noun:
an evening party or social gathering

Today my heart is breaking. I have just discovered that my dear old friend and sometimes comforting confidant is killing me.
Miracle Whip.
I cannot believe how betrayed I feel at this moment. Did you know that Miracle Whip has HFC in it? For those who are not familiar with HFC, I shall spell it out for you. High Fructose Corn Syrup. *sniffle* I'm still in shock. I've been reading this very informative and supposedly good for me book called, "You on a Diet". Although it claims to not really be a diet plan; but more a way to retrain our bodies to be and do what they were made to do. It's great and all, but I didn't realize the sacrifices I would have to make. No more graham crackers dipped in milk (yup HFC is in Grahammies too), no more Miracle Whip and ham sandwiches (HFC is not in mayo, but *gag* mayo?), no more oreo cookies, no more tootsie rolls or cuppie cakes.
I do feel a bit encouraged, however, because the book said that cinnamon is very helpful and good for you. So I am going to assume that my love affair with cinnamon bears can still go on. And tonight we will all celebrate that fact with a soiree in cinnamon's honor. Bring only cinnamon flavored HFC-less treats. You will not be let in the door otherwise.

(I am ignoring the fact that Mr. Bear may have a tad -or hurken- amount of HFC inside of him. There has to be more cinnamon than sugar or else they would be called Sugar Bears. Duh.)

Hahahaha...I can relate to your anger. Who would've thunk there's high fructose corn syrup in Special K? It's my fave cereal and I thought I was being healthy eating it too. Sigh.

P.S. Miracle whip is gross. Mayo is the best.

ERMA, you should know better than to read labels and for heaven's sake NEVER open a health book! Butter is even better for you than Miracle Whip! Gross! Yum for Mayo! But what in the world is healthy? Just remember...everything in moderation! even BIO LIFE! hehehe
