What foods do you stock your fridges with?

way good to know. Thanks Johnie! I may have been killing myself and thought I was doing good. Why do we have the food and drug for anyway? Seems somebody is slippin if we have so much bad infront of us....

[Johnie]

Apparently the HFCS is way cheaper to add to stuff than sugar. It's way worse for you too. I won't touch margarine, it's one molecule away from being plastic! I'll have my real butter in moderation. We literally sat at a restaurant the other night watching the margarine on a very hot baked potato NOT melt......scary

[SleepinCatz]

I don't like the taste of margerine

[Johnie]

No, me either.

I'm thinking I either have a thyroid problem or a problem with yeast or gluten...or is that the same thing?

[Johnie]

Not sure.

I have a thyroid issue. I take meds for it but I think I need to have it re-evaluated. I have this issue with my head sweating, it's embarrassing but the pills are doing nothing to stop it. I'm sitting here in my air conditioned office fine from the waist down and my head is sweaty right now

[SleepinCatz]

wow...You may be right. It might be time for a checkup on that.

Marmite is gusting. I would rather go through s shark infested paddling pool than eat it. OK that's a bit dramatic. But i love lime marmalade. Over there we loveeeeeeeeee double stuff oreo's. Ummmmm a shop here sells a small packet for £4.95!!!!!!!!!! So will have to wait until we go next.

I dont like marmite either. I tried it when I was a child and thought it was disgusting and tried it again when I was older and still didnt like it.

Its true you either love it or hate it.

I think the bread is sweet too. The bread over here isnt as sweet.

I love the pretzels and I cant wait to get one when I hit the parks the first day and the funnel cakes are to die for. ::

we dont care we just buy whatever....only thing i dont like in the bread its like eating air

Buy the bakery bread instead of the commercial bread, Mick. It's still probably a bit sweeter than in the UK, but you can taste the difference between bakery and commercial bread.

What's the brand of cinammon raisin bread that comes in a dark red bag - that was wicked nice.

Sun Maid--the name of the raisin company.

Johnie, I have that same thing! I have Hashimoto's so take thyroid medication. Doesn't do much for the persperation let me tell you. It can get pretty embarrassing, too.

'Catz, wheat is the grain, of course. Gluten is an "aspect" of the grain (it's what you develop when you knead bread, makes it tender and light) so in some ways is wheat, yes.

I hate margarine and refuse to believe something man-made that tastes that icky is good for you. I rarely use butter, but I will use it (not right now with the diet and all). Olive oil is my 'fat' of choice.
