You're right on that. People need to train themselves to read the labels and ingredients when buying food.
I don't buy "low fat" stuff without checking the ingredient list and the caloric content.

Tomorrow starts Lent. For the next 40 days you're supposed to sacrifice something to commemorate the 40 days that Jesus fasted in the desert.
What I'm going to do is buy two cans of food to donate to the church for the poor.
For myself, I've decided that I will sacrifice my free time, and for the next 40 days, work out 3 times a day, as a piece of self-improvement, and see if I can kickstart my weight loss again.

I enjoyed watching Jamie Oliver when his "Naked Chef" program was on the Food Network. He's a fascinating guy, intelligent and fun to watch!

Good for you, Chuck! My mom's church operates a large food pantry and they've had a huge increase in the number of those in need.
Wow - three times a day? I'm impressed. I'm having a hard enough time sticking to once a day. :-\

Anybody else like yogurt?
I do, and Yoplait has a good variety of flavors. They have orange creamsicle, cinnamon roll, key lime pie, and others.
And now there's a new flavor.
I haven't seen this flavor in the store yet, but you can bet I'm looking for it!

I'm not a big fan of yogurt, but I do like the Mountain High Original Plain yogurt which reminds me of the delicious breakfasts I had while staying in the Jungfrau Mountains of Switzerland. Only there, the cows probably line up behind the hotel to be milked just before breakfast each morning!
I usually eat the yogurt in a parfait with a little granola or Grape Nuts cereal and lots of berries, fruit, or bananas.
So, Lent has officially started. I'm not religious, but I like to give up something for Lent and it's usually alcohol. I'm also planning to forego Starbucks drinks for the 40 days of Lent too. Anybody else partaking, besides Chuck?
