So it starts – my relatives decided to fill up my refrigerator in my absence with so-called healthy food.<\/p>\n
The most preposterous thing is a gallon of all natural “100% juice” apple cider. They apparently didn’t read the nutrition label or the ingredients. It’s at least in part from reconstituted powder (probably from China). It has 120 calories per 8 oz, all from sugar (fructose of course) – that’s just slightly less than the 140 per 8 oz of Coca Cola.<\/p>\n
But most importantly (as I wrote about before), there is NO vitamin C in it to prevent scurvy. In fact, there is no other nutrients at all. It’s nothing but sugar water with ZERO nutrition. The same is true of most of the “100% fruit juices” helicopter parents are giving their children, then wondering why their kids are fat and sickly and allergic to everything.<\/p>\n
Next exhibit – weight watchers “slow roasted” turkey breast with “classic pan gravy”. Orly?<\/p>\n
See if this is how you make your pan gravy:
\n– water (okay so far)
\n– turkey flavored gravy paste (corn oil, modified corn starch, wheat flour, turkey and turkey broth, whey, turkey fat,salt, yeast extract, saut\u00e9ed carrots, corn maltodextrin, hydrolyzed corn gluten, flavor (turkey fat, natural flavors (from a beaver’s perineal gland?), spices), soy sauce solids (wheat, soybeans, salt), disodium insinuate and guanylate, dried chicken meat, caramel color, chicken fat, butter, modified food starch, rendered chicken fat, carrot juice concentrate, salt, dextrose, dehydrated chicken broth, natural flavors, autolyzed yeast extract, spices, Xanthan Gum, chicken fat, caramel color, chicken broth, soy lecithin, flavorings)<\/p>\n
Wow, just like mom used to make!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
