@dhorst I work in plant breeding, specifically with tomatoes. I was ridiculously excited when I saw that bag for the first time :)

Here's the thing I don't get. I presume they're marketed either for people who are too lazy, or they're meant for on-the-go snacking. So it boggles my mind that they have this recipe on their website: http://www.pbslices.com/parents/recipe_mama.laubach.fpb.brownies.html WHY would you put the effort into baking brownies, but then resort to using these slices instead of grabbing a spoon and a jar of peanut butter?

I avoid sucralose like the plague. I consider it even worse than HFCS. I don't mind other substitutes like aspartame or acesulfame potassium. Obviously I prefer real sugar, though, and at home I only use raw sugar.

ag3208, I assure you they existed :)

Mm, I guess I've also had goat cheese on pizza, with roasted veggies. That's kind of outside the norm. (It was a frozen pizza, actually!)

Oh right, also unnatural fruit juices, and Sunny Delight, which we used to drink a lot. I was given a bottle fairly recently because someone's mother sent her a case, and it was horrible.

Like AliNC, I rarely use a knife in the first place, so I tend to just eat with the fork in my right hand. I have pretty much no coordination in my left hand, though, so using the fork in that hand would be very difficult for me, and possibly messy.

As a vegetarian, I appreciate that you won't serve tofu! I mean, I enjoy tofu, and I cook with it a lot, but it's rather easy to mess it up. Someone who doesn't eat it regularly (and who doesn't realize how yummy it can be when done properly) would probably create something horrible, and that wouldn't be good for anyone!

I used to make sandwiches containing just cheese, potato chips, mayo and a touch of mustard. I think the habit started because when I was younger, a lot of events (academic competitions and the like) only served cold cuts for lunch, and as a vegetarian, I wanted something a little less boring than cheese on bread. I still put potato chips on deli sandwiches sometimes, if they're available.

I don't know if I'd want it now, but I used to dip things like french fries and potato chips into chocolate pudding. Now I really like fries with mayo, especially if they're sweet potato fries. I'm not a huge fan of ketchup, and even on burgers, I need to cut it with mayo.

I like to mix marmite with either peanut butter or butter and spread it on bread. Peanut butter and butter is also a yummy combination. Also butter and honey. (And obviously, peanut butter and honey!)

The salt on chocolate cake thing mentioned above intrigues me, and I might need to try it sometime :)

Growing up, we ate a lot of pizza at home (every Friday night!), and I liked to put various sauces on the leftovers.. bbq, honey mustard, etc, and also things like parmesan cheese. It wasn't particularly good pizza, but dressing it up really helped (and it was always better the next day, anyway, preferably cold or lukewarm).

And.. I'm rambling :)

I weigh myself twice a week, on Wednesday and Sunday evenings. That number is then inputted into a spreadsheet, from which a trendline is produced.

I guess it's because I've never lived in Massachusetts, but I'm unable to understand the opposition to this.. It's coming across to me as "our residents are lazy and stupid", and I *know* that's not the case. But this system has worked in basically every state other than Massachusetts (and Michigan?) for *years*.

Out of curiousity, are there no labels on the shelves currently? How do you do unit comparisons, or is everyone expected to whip out a calculator and figure it out for every item? And when an item is on temporary sale, I guess someone has to go relabel every single box, and then do it again when the sale ends?
