A typo for cornmeal?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I once worked with a woman whose doctor told her that she had to lose weight, to help get her blood pressure down. So she went to the store and bought "diet" this and "lite" that, everything either canned or frozen - processed to the max. Then, at some point, she looked at the sodium content ... and hit the roof, totally outraged that they'd put all that nasty sodium in her nice, healthy, low-cal food.

Heh. One of the (many, amazing!) perks to having our registered dietitian friend living with us is that I am learning a lot about nutrition. Such as butter is your friend! This is what portion sizes really look like! Wacky, I tell you.

Because books.

The nutritionist who taught me the diabetic diet and its exchanges was excellent at this. For instance, a deck of cards is one serving of meat, and 3 oz.! I've never forgotten that.

I never doubted butter.

I'm assuming it's in comparison to margarine or other processed substitute.
Plus, a little fat will help you eat less in the long run than avoiding it all together.

I figured it was something along those lines. I tend to use olive oil for everything though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is just weird:
How to surrender the moral highground in one easy step
So the Anti-Defamation League, an organization has a long history of fighting discrimination and bigotry, has apparently gone bonkers: they have joined forces with fringe lunatics like Sarah Palin in opposition to the construction of an Islamic Center two blocks from the Ground Zero. Their rationale?
"We are ever mindful of the tragedy which befell our nation there, the pain we all still feel – and especially the anguish of the families and friends of those who were killed on September 11, 2001. The controversy which has emerged regarding the building of an Islamic Center at this location is counterproductive to the healing process."

Abe Foxman is not exactly a mainstream character himself. Can we just put him and, more crucially, Bill Donohue and Fred Phelps in a locked room and stop talking about them? They don't really represent a big organization of fellow travelers; they're just talking heads with fax machines.
