Some of you know I've had to alter my eating habits - drastically. No wine, no sugar, no gluten no nothing unless it is fresh vegies, beans and rice - a pretty vegan diet.
SO, I go to the store today for a fresh salad. (Albertsons has a great salad bar). Lots of fresh spinach, red lettuce, cukes, brocoli, garbonzo beans, sunflower seeds - you get the picture. I made my own Italian dressing this morning so I have it in the car. Then I grab 2 bags of organic rice cakes - no salt. I saunter up to the checkout and get in line.
In front of me is a rather large man. On the checkout were his items: 1 doz glazed donuts and two different iced drinks from Starbucks, complete with the whipped cream and sprinkles.
I started laughing out loud. The poor guy did not know what to think of this maniacal woman laughing behind him. All I could think of was the huge amount of sugar that was about to be ingested by one or two or three people. Then I remembered that I used to eat that stuff just 3 weeks ago. I think if I tried to put one of those drinks, or one of those donuts down me, it would come right back up.
Anyway, the checkout gal thought it was pretty funny too...
