Re: Tips for Eating Healthy when Eating Out

Two things on tha FDA list I'd take issue with:

-starting a meal with carbs is more likely to pack on fat that starting it with protein, like a tasty shrimp cocktail.

-that road food tip is mighty biased towards carbs (other than the nuts).

Other than those little quibbles it just seems like common sense...and I always find it odd that the govt. has to tell people such stuff

Megadoses of fish oil work great for me, and render me virtually hangover-proof too

More specifically to the point, Accumulatorette got her cholesterol numbers from uh-oh to swell with no changes other than taking the fish oil.

We even give it to the dogs!
