News From The FDA

“In a surprising reversal of its longtime single-helping policy, the Food and Drug Administration announced its approval of seconds Tuesday, claiming that an additional plateful of food with every meal can greatly reduce the risk of hunger as well as provide an excellent source of deliciousness...”

“...‘besides, with people staving in other parts of the world, it would be an absolute shame to let our nice food supply all go to waste,’ the commissioner added.”

The OLD food pyramid on the left is single helpings, and
the NEW food pyramid on the right is simply 2 pyramids.
Genius!

I’ve been consuming food like this since I’ve been competing in triathlons. This past Saturday morning, I got up and had breakfast. I went to the Y to workout, and then stopped at Cub Foods for a few things on the way home. The fresh “food-by-the-pound” was being set out, so I figured I’d listen to the FDA and have my 9:00 am meal between breakfast and lunch:

So my brunch consisted of an egg roll, 3 pot stickers, 2 taquitos, 2 chicken parts, and a pile of cheesy potatoes. I’m not gonna lie: most items were a letdown. And I was still hungry.

See you all mid-afternoon for lupper, and then a few hours later for supper.
