| 92. One more thing on those salads |
|
sugar, not only HFCS, but sugar, on the salad itself. May come in the form of seemingly healthy dry fruit, or other means... but it does have it.
My other favorite, you too can order apple wedges for the kiddies.... instead of fries. Seemingly that is great... problem is, no skin on them... and they come with a caramel dipping sauce...
This is the debate, should I give them the Sugar in the form of easily processed carbs in the fries, or the easily processed sugars in the caramel sauce?
What to do?
But they have people fooled, don't they?
Did I mention that the caramel sauce probably has some salt too? Not that you could taste it for that matter, and the apples are in that wonderfully laden liquid that will keep them from oxidizing.
Yep, they have become good citizens, really.
:SNART:
And yes, you do get it, since you worked in the industry at one point...
I did at a college cafeteria and if most people knew what came in their food and from where... and it was a time when HFCS were not as pervasive. But your story down thread about mayo had me laughing out loud... since I also worked at a kitchen in another country that did their own. And for all those who think store bought mayo is good.... they have not lived until they have eaten the fresh kind... same goes for butter, or freshly picked eggs at the chicken coup.
