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.

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.

Why is this?

How to surrender the moral highground in one easy step

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.

I just had to leave our ice cream social because they were talking about diets, and Weight Watchers points and such, and someone seriously said "I didn't realize that I was eating so much. I mean, I used to have an apple as a snack, and now I know I can't do that."
