You had to go down 17 items before you got to your first hint of protein. (Milk)

Now wonder everyone is getting fat and diabetic.

I was struck by how brand-name-centric everything was... I suppose it wouldn't hold interest for its readers if it weren't... but I can't help but think that dieting/eathing healthy should be do-able by folks who aren't rolling in the dough or who are on fixed incomes... Surely, there are generic versions of nearly every item on the list... Nearly all items (with the exception of Shredded Wheat and Guinness and a few others) are recently concocted, re-packaged fad items that are 20 to 50 per cent more expensive than their ancient counterparts. Wouldn't a list that reduced calories, cholesterol, etc. AND saved jack be more useful?

BTW: Does anyone know where I can find the "Goose" version of:

"Tuong Ot Sriracha

Add a swirl of this versatile Asian chili sauce to a tablespoon of mayonnaise (#85) for a spicy sandwich spread. "

It's more flavorful thatn the "Rooster" version (Item #90, above), and it's got coconut in it, I think.

US life expectancy is at a record high, as usual:

Therefore, I spend my limited time and attention on other matters, and eat what I freakin' like.

Cabot Brand butter (Vermont) is outstanding. Publix brand low fat sour cream and cottage cheese is fabulous.

A post from Men's Health?

What's next from our clearly metrosexual host?

Posts on male body-waxing? On pedicures and manicures?

And he has the nerve to call soccer fan sissies.

Wax? When they depilate me it looks like Golem's death scene.
