Mostly nuts, fried chick peas & fruits (tangerines, pineapple and local peaches), chocolate for late night

(268,930 posts)As an aside, I once worked for Jim King, the guy who was called back from retirement to stage-manage the 2004 Democratic Convention. A great Dem, who started as an advance man for JFK. Jimmy Carter later named him head of OPM, then Chairman of NTSB.
While I was working as a volunteer for John Kerry in Ohio, a friend of Kerry's told me that every advance person in the party at that time had been trained by Jim King.

(44,116 posts)Did you know the gluten free ones don't make you fat? At least that's the lie I keep telling myself lol.
malaise
(268,930 posts)We exercise and watch what we eat but I can tell you I have never gone looking for gluten free anything.
On the other hand my best friend from childhood only eats gluten free because of her health issues.
I'm lucky - I'm not allergic to anything
