[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Seriously!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Thanks a lot, cat people! Look at the psychic damage you've inflicted on me.
We love you anyway, Hec. Sorry to have scarred you, especially when we don't see your font here so often.

Excellent news, Sean!

It is my understanding that most veterinary school nutrition classes are sponsored by either Hill's or Iams. The thing is, at this point I don't know if I ever saw actual documentation that this is a fact or if this is one of those "everybody says" factazoids. Well, here is a veterinarian who says he learned jack squat about nutrition at vet school: [link] and while he doesn't say his official nutrition classes, which were apparently non-existent, were sponsored by Hill's and Iams, he does say that those companies did sponsor "events" at his vet college. At this point I no longer take my veterinarians' word on food as gospel, just a starting point for my own research. I am a big advocate for reading labels for ourselves, for understanding what they really say, and making our own informed decisions.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Bread is one of those stealth foods that almost always has HFCS, in my experience.

I just checked, and mine doesn't. But then, I get organic hippie-type bread from Whole Foods.

When I buy bread, I always buy whole wheat; my preferred brand is one of the few that doesn't actually taste sweet, but then I noticed they had a sugar-free version ... more expensive of course, but I prefer that.

The whole wheat bread here at work is sweetened with molasses instead.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Pepsi has come out with "Throwback" sodas - their regular lineup, but made with cane sugar instead of HFCS. They say it's a limited run. I think they're putting out a feeler to see how popular it is, in the face of all the bad press about HFCS. I hope they make it a permanent addition to their line, because it tastes much better, regardless of whether it's actually better for you.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Seriously. I am obsessive about keeping HFCS out of my diet (unless I'm mainlining Sour Patch Kids, which just needs to happen some days), and the amount of stuff that it's in is staggering.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Just checked my bread , no HFCS. Honey, raisin juice ( really) and molasses.
