putting things in perspective

so everyone in the world seems to be jumping on the "healthy junk food" bandwagon... 100 calorie, no fat, no sugar, no fun packages of flavoured cardboard snacks. i'm so not into that sort of thing - being overweight or not, i have no desire to waste my brain power on counting calories or justifying every single morsel that goes into my mouth. it just sounds like an obsessive cuckoo-crazy thing to do. i mean, is THAT the most important thing in your life? whatever happened to moderation, self-restraint, and exercise? but i guess it can be difficult when everything is super-sized and in your face! but getting into the north american portion size and the whole debate about over-fed and under-nourished is not what i want to get into right now.

i broke down in the grocery store the other day and bought these jos. louis 100 calorie thingys... don't judge me! i'm the perfect consumer - show it to me and i want it! also, they were on sale! (sidebar: why is it that eating healthier costs more??? you can so easily and cheaply get foods that aren't good for you but as soon as anything's marketed as "healthy" the price goes up. stupid, stupid, stupid... people are making fistfuls of money on delivering the general public and dismal lifestyle!)

now, i know i should have been skeptical when a box smaller than a tissue box proclaimed that it had 15 portions in it but i wasn't paying much attention. i was rather disheartened to see with my own eyes just how bad a regular jos. louis is for you considering the 100 calorie version looks like this:
but i am elated to report that is actually tastes like a normal jos. louis! rather than making a low fat, surgarless version, they've simply shrunken the portion.
