Wondering...

Why does it always end up with extremes? Its always no-fat, no-sugar, no-cheese, nothing that had a face... or the other extreme, whipped cream on top of high sugar, high fat, high calorie, manufactured crap.

Contrast these two websites:
veggies, veggies, veggies..

lard-o-rama

(The first one was apparently done in response to the second)

But then we have things where Paula Deen's (the butter lady) son tries to 'slim down' her gooey butter cake. So you can just have a bigger piece of the cake?

But it just seems like there are so many many many things that go from one extreme to another. Its either a recipe with three sticks of butter (Hello Pioneer Woman), or one with imitation margarine (which isn't that great for you either).

And everything is just too sweet. EVERYTHING seems to have sugar or artificial sweetener in it. Bleah.

When I started watching tv again, I was amazed by the number of food ads there were... And its all high fat, high sugar, low quality.

And we've lost the idea of a cookie as a yummy treat. Cookie monster always loved cookies because they were yummy and special. Veggies can be yummy, yes, but it just seems wrong to have cookie monster pushing veg... Have a veggie monster. Have a big giant rabbit come trying to eat everyone's veggies.... and show the veggies not covered in dip, please.
