Hey mom! Sugar's an important part of this complete breakfast!

[kjpepper]

As I was eating breakfast with sundart, I happened to notice the following public service announcement written across the back of the Domino's brown sugar box:

Sugar is a 100% natural simple carbohydrate.
Carbohydrates are an important part of any balanced diet.
Sugar contains no fat or cholesterol, and has 15 calories per teaspoon.

Oh boy, I'm laughing my ass off with this one. a) Atkins seems to have the sugar industry running scared. b) I guess you can sell anything as "part of a balanced diet" with the right marketing. Cyanide, for example. "Essential for the prevention of excess tension in muscles. May cause death if used correctly."

Ah, let's see. Battered-coated french fries are now considered a fresh vegetable. So, by adding ketchup, I guess, you would have 2 of the 5 servings from that food group. Hey, eating right isn't so hard after all.
