I have been eating a lot of “bars” lately. No, not candy bars, but some of these bars can be counted as candy with as much sugar that is in them. Odwalla, Clif, Larabar, all good ones. I just had a Pro Bar, Cran-Lemon Twister to be exact. This bar calls itself “The Whole Food Meal”, if it is a meal I need seconds and at $3.79 each for a 3oz bar that leaves something to be desired. The tastiest by far are Larabars, Cherry Pie being my favorite. When on sale I stock up on Odwalla bars, any of the choices without chocolate. Clif Bars are also good but they are sometimes too sugary and sticky for me.

I’ll agree, it is really good stuff! Do I know the recipe? I’ll never tell.

For those of you who were once meat eaters, what was the most vile piece of “food” you ever consumed?  The reaosn I ask, I just watched Anthony Bourdain, on Travel Channel, you know, the guy who eats all sorts of bizarre entrails such as pig liver stew (raw) and raven eye sandwiches (again, raw) and thought how much stuff I once ate that could count toward being “disgusting”,  somewhat.   I think the best I could remember eating was potted meat sandwiches (you know what’s in that stuff?) and once, pork brains.  Tame, I’m sure, in comparison to the stuff this guy shovels.  While we’re mentioning him, Bourdain also has a strong dislike for vegetarians.  Who could have guessed?

Fluoride? There has always been debate over municipal water fluoridation and The Tennessean printed an article today about bottled water than seems to have gotten some discussion on the subject. Fluoride is added to water supplies in the US and some believe that should end. How do you feel on the subject?
