they are advertising apples as "fat-free" in the supermarket now

this girl asked me last week if pepper (ie, salt and pepper) was fattening.

also, some fruits/veg's do contain fat but still, apples?

 

[xfer]

yeah, but people who don't know apples don't have fat probably don't even know what an avocado IS.

 

[minxnim]

that's true.

speaking of weird food things, my coworker is obsessed with this 'negative calorie food' diet and anytime i am eating an apple she says things like 'takes more to digest that than it has in it! that's a NEGATIVE FOOD!" and i am like, grrreat.

i used to work at a pizza place with these girls who were always lying (pretending to be on a diet). all they would ever talk about was how little they had eaten before work and how many meals they were skipping... as they shovelled down pepperoni slices and calzones. one of them was like "you mean ricotta is fattening?"
