FW: The Best Diet Ever
Yesterday I went to the doctor for my yearly physical.
My blood pressure was high, my cholesterol was high,
I’d gained some weight, and I didn’t feel so hot.
My doctor said eating right doesn’t have to
be complicated and it would solve my physical
problems. He said just think in colors…
Fill your plate with bright colors… greens,
yellows, reds, etc.
I went right home and ate an entire bowl of:

FW: A new Publix Supermarket
A new Publix supermarket opened in Panama City, Florida.
It has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the distant sound of thunder and the smell of fresh rain.
When you pass the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and you experience the scent of fresh cut hay.
In the meat department there is the aroma of charcoal grilled steaks and brats.
In the liquor department, the fresh, clean, crisp smell of tapped Miller Lite.
When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.
The bread department features the tantalizing smell of fresh baked bread & cookies.
I don’t buy toilet paper there anymore!

3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
a small splash of vanilla extract

The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don’t be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous)..
And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

FW: Pass The Butter, Please
Editor’s Note: This email is partially true. Read the snopes article showing what is accurate and what is not.
This is interesting.
Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings.
DO YOU KNOW the difference between margarine and butter?
This gets very interesting!
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.
And now, for Margarine…
Very high in trans fatty acids..
Triple risk of coronary heart disease.
Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol).
Increases the risk of cancers up to five-fold.
Lowers quality of breast milk.
Decreases immune response…
Decreases insulin response.
And here’s the most disturbing fact; HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC.
This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).
You can try this yourself:
Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things:
* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weenie microorganisms will not a find a home to grow.. Why? Because it is nearly plastic.
Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?
Share This With Your Friends (if you want to ‘butter them up’)!

FW: Chocolate Cake (duhhh)
No Cheating. Pick your dessert, and then look to see what psychiatrists think about you. Make your choice before you check the meaning. After taking this dessert personality test send this e-mail on to others, but when you do, be sure to put your choice of dessert in the subject box above.
Here are your choices:
Angel Food Cake
Brownies
Lemon Meringue Pie
Vanilla Cake With Chocolate Icing
Strawberry Short Cake
Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Icing
Ice Cream
Carrot Cake
No, you can’t change your mind once you scroll down, so think carefully about what your choice will be.
OK – Now that you’ve made your choice, this is what the researchers say about you…
ANGEL FOOD CAKE – Sweet, loving, cuddly. You love all warm and fuzzy items. A little nutty at times. Sometimes you need an ice cream cone at the end of the day.. Others perceive you as being childlike and immature at times.
BROWNIES — You are adventurous, love new ideas, and are a champion of underdogs and a slayer of dragons. When tempers flare up you whip out your saber. You are always the oddball with a unique sense of humor and direction. You tend to be very loyal.
LEMON MERINGUE — Smooth, sexy, & articulate with your hands, you are an excellent caregiver and a good teacher.. But don’t try to walk and chew gum at the same time. A bit of a diva at times, you set your own style because you do your own thing. You shine when it comes to helping others and have many friends.
VANILLA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING — Fun-loving, sassy, humorous, not very grounded in life; very indecisive and lacking motivation. Everyone enjoys being around you, but you are a practical joker. Others should be cautious in making you mad.. However, you are a friend for life.
STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE — Romantic, warm, loving. You care about other people, can be counted on in a pinch and expect the same in return. Intuitively keen. You can be very emotional at times but a true person in every way. You like to do things for yourself and help others learn about themselves.
CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING–Sexy; always ready to give and receive. Very creative, adventurous, ambitious, and passionate. You can appear to have a cold exterior but are warm on the inside. Not afraid to take chances. Will not settle for anything average in life. Love to laugh.
ICE CREAM — You like sports, whether it be baseball, football,basketball, or soccer. If you could, you would like to participate, but you enjoy watching sports. You don’t like to give up the remote control. You tend to be self-centered and high maintenance.
CARROT CAKE — You are a very fun loving person, who likes to laugh. You are fun to be with. People like to hang out with you. You are a very warm hearted person and a little quirky at times. You have many loyal friends. You were meant to lead and teach others. A wonderful role model.
SEND TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS…..INCLUDING ME!
DON’T FORGET – PUT YOUR CHOICE OF DESSERT IN ‘SUBJECT BOX’ ABOVE BEFORE
YOU FORWARD

FW: Your Age by Chocolate Math
Don’t tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway
-but the Hershey Man will know!
This is pretty fun.
DON’T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute.
Work this out as you read.
Be sure you don’t read the bottom until you’ve worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it’s fun.
Chocolate Calculator
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50 — I’ll wait while you get the calculator
5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 ..
If you haven’t, add 1758.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
You should have a three digit number
The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).
The next two numbers are
YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

FW: Free BBQ Grills
As every Southerner knows, spring time is the time to get ready for that all-important cooking technique of the south — outdoor grilling!
I have just found out there are several stores (not just in the South) where you can get a FREE Bar-B-Q grill!
You can get a free BBQ grill from any of the following stores:
A&P
Albertsons
Costco
Food Lion
Fry’s
Harris Teeter
Home Depot
Big Lots
Brookshire’s
Lowes
Publix
Safeway
Sam’s Club
Target
Vons
Trader Joe’s
Wal-Mart
Winn-Dixie
I especially like the higher rack—which can be used for keeping things warm! Just make sure to get a metal one… the plastic ones don’t do so well.
Ya’ll enjoy now!
