Did you see Boston Legal tonight? It was pretty cool, funny. An obese client sues a snack food company for his addiction and diabetes.
Some of you know that I’ve been on a clinic diet for several months, eating better, exercising … I’ve lost 72 pounds. Well on my weigh. Which is good. And when I saw this argument on Boston Legal about high fructose corn syrup, (HFCS) its link to diabetes and blocking of the hormone that makes you feel full, I checked out my clinic food. Right there in the little snack bars they supply to help clients stay on the diet between meals — #1 ingredient — you guessed it. High farkin’ fructose corn syrup. Dammit.
I grabbed the last few bars I had left and ran the little bastards down the garbage disposal. (I like to call it the kitchen pig.) They did not go quietly. Sounded like I was trying to shove rocks through the pig. I had to run hot water and keep grinding, to finally get them to die.
Yes, they deserved to die and I hope they burn in hell!
Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, take my advice
pull down your pants and slide on the ice …
… no no, that’s not it …
… take my advice, get that evil goo HFCS out of your house and your life.
Oh, and one last twist of weirdness. This was a brand new Boston Legal episode, first aired tonight. But when I googled HFCS and found the Wikipedia site linked to above, that episode is already mentioned in the entry. The Net is faster than human thought. Just like a certain Decider’s decisions.
