Bad movies are good for you.
They make you appreciate the really good ones even more.
We just got done watching I know who killed me.
Someone should just kill me.
Bad, oh so bad bad bad.
Sebastian and I went to Publix to grab some food and stuff. I picked up some easy dinner for tonight, subs and nuke 'em foods. It was another I'm not cooking day.
Anyway, I have a question.
I know these have been out for months and months now, but I want someone to explain to me the point of eating a cereal like Froot Loops with reduced sugar.
Really, what is the point?
Don't tell me because you love the taste of them but want less sugar, or the sweetened cereals are the only ones your kid will eat but you want them to have less sugar.
Not buying that.
You want less sugar in your diet, stop eating sweetened cereals.
Easy.
Don't take the reason I eat that stuff away from me man.
You healthy freakazoids need to get out of the sugar coated cereal aisle, and leave our happy sugar high stuff the hell alone.
And here's another question I'd like someone to answer.
How come at 99.9% of the grocery stores I've ever been to, the diet foods like rice cakes and slim fast, are in the same exact aisle as the cookies and candy?
They are just on the opposite side of the aisle, so here you are walking down planning on treating yourself to some ultra bland rice cakes, and you have to look at Oreos and chocolate chip cookies, and bags of M&M's.
I think the grocery stores secretly plan to help you fail at your weight loss goals.
I've called out Publix on this a few times now, and they just look at me like I'm crazy.
But it's the truth!
Pay attention the next time you shop, the diet foods are in the same aisle as candy and cookies.
They are sabotaging your health and they know it!
I have a few more movie reviews to write up, we've watched some completely crappy ones lately, but we love them all.
That sounds nuts, but we do.
It's fun to watch total crap and rip it apart as it goes along.
But really, read my review of I know who killed me before you bother watching it or renting it from Netflix. It's not worth a single penny of your hard earned money.
Ok, have a few things to do before I can get to replying to emails tonight.
Later days.

I suspect those Froot Loops don't taste very good. I'm not a fan of things that are normally high in sugar or fat, but have reduced sugar or fat. The one exception is diet cola...regular Pepsi Twist is too sweet, I actually like the taste of the diet one better. But with all other soda, I drink the regular non-diet versions.
Ever have fat-free cheese? I used to have to cook with it when I worked at Applebee's, that stuff is NASTY. It won't melt. And it tastes like ass. I say to have a smaller amount of the real thing, instead of buying this nasty fake stuff.
Once I bought low-fat Oreos by mistake, didn't notice until I opened the package and tasted one. Gack.
At the stores I go to, Slim Fast and such is kept in the pharmacy aisles, not with regular food. Rice cakes are kept either in the regular chips & snacks aisle, or in a special "natural foods" section, if the store has one.
Rice cakes are another thing that I think are freaking nasty. Just like eating Styrofoam!

Now see I feel gyped if I watch a sucky movie that I paid for, most recently it was Beowulf.
As for the froot loops with less sugar? Haven't seen those yet but I know I won't be buying them because I like them the way they are now.
Onto rice cakes and Slimfast. I buy Slimfast and it is in the bread aisle if you can believe that sandwiched in between the jams and peanut butter and then popcorn and nuts.
