The more processed it is, the worse it is for your health and your weight... no matter WHAT it says on the packet. (And if it's in a packet, that's probably pretty bad too...) </p> <p>Though I have to point out that cochineal (red food flavouring) has ALWAYS been made from crushed bugs. Bugs are real food too... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22948#post-470022 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 17:27:54 +0000 Vicki 470022@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>HM, the dry milk or the canned milk? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22948#post-469991 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:08:19 +0000 HuddysMama 469991@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Vicki, here is my secret. Use Carnation milk, real butter and a wire wisk!! When I make the plastic potatoes everybody swears they are the 'real deal.' </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22948#post-469969 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:29:19 +0000 Vicki 469969@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Joan, you mentioned 'plastic' mashed potatoes: I like the instant mashed potato buds; I can't get homemade mashed potatoes to taste as good as the instant potatoes, nor can I get all the lumps out of them. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22948#post-469919 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:16:24 +0000 2bpurring 469919@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Now what am I supposed to eat??? Thanks Dee for a good wake up to what the stores are selling us! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22948#post-469918 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:11:56 +0000 MaxandCali'sMom 469918@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>yikes, as I sit here having a lunch consisting of bean soup (home made, so I know what's in it) and Ritz snowflake crackers (for the holidays) with Easy Cheese!!! I'm also guilty of eating the microwave popcorn (not too often), and American Slices. I knew a long time ago I didn't like the fake crabmeat.<br /> And I have been guilty of going to a movie and having the "buttered" popcorn, though I seldom go to movies any more. Oh, well, I'm still alive, so I guess I haven't had any ill effects from what I've ingested! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22948#post-469904 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:56:38 +0000 2 Popoki 469904@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Wow - eye-opening article. I am guilty of the microwave popcorn. Don't have any of the others on the list. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22948#post-469880 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:11:33 +0000 HuddysMama 469880@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Karencentennial they have a name for that - 'popcorn lung.'</p> <p>I can't see the list, but I probably don't have anything on it - lol.</p> <p>Joan if you don't want the plastic ones, they have real potatoes now that you microwave and mash up yourself. They're awesome. Just add butter, cheese and carnation milk and you're good to go. Of course, I put bacon bits on mine. Note that I said bacon bits, not bacos. LOL </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22948#post-469845 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:11:05 +0000 jeankit 469845@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks Dee...I do buy fake crab bits once in awhile!!! Oh well, at least I don't buy plastic wrapped cheese or canned! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22948#post-469838 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:00:40 +0000 KarenCentennial 469838@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I banned microwave popcorn in our home many years ago - much to the disgust of my sons - because I had heard about the "butter" used on it when a young woman had been working for one of the factories that make the "butter" had gotten sick after less than 6 months there with a lung condition. She had had a pre-employment medical check-up showing her with no lung problems and the employers and insurance company refused responsibility - claiming she had a pre-existing condition - which she was able to prove that was not the case. The man mentioned in the article who did develop a lung condition is from my town - and he would eat two bags every day and as soon as he opened a bag he would inhale the aroma and chemicals - causing his lung condition. My youngest still loves his microwave popcorn but not when he is visiting me. I also knew about the fake crab meat and the cheese, as well. The others I had no idea about, but am not surprised. (Well, actually I did know about the maple syrup) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22948#post-469835 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:56:34 +0000 Vicki 469835@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>The only one of those I'm embarrassed to actually have is the fake maple syrup, but PH eats that on his pancakes; I eat the real deal on mine. IDK: I like real food more since I stopped smoking nearly six years ago. I still eat cheese slices, but not the cr*p made with oil and other stuff that costs 99 cents. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22948#post-469827 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:47:25 +0000 feral 469827@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>That's enuf to make me just stop eating! And I so love the seafood salad in the store deli. :( </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22948#post-469810 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:51:16 +0000 JoanfromNewJersey 469810@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ok, I'm still not going to stop eating my food that resembles cheese! Oh, and I'm surprised that "plastic" (instant) potatoes didn't make the list. Not that I would give that up either; just needs enough cheese, butter and seasoning! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22948#post-469808 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 07:32:24 +0000 cricketsmama 469808@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I don't know where you find these articles Dee..I had to forward this on..quite interesting!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22948#post-469769 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 05:24:11 +0000 Dee 469769@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p><a href="http://www.cracked.com/article/113_6-fake-foods-you-will-wish-you-didnt-have-in-your-kitchen/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cracked.com/article/113_6-fake-foods-you-will-wish-you-didnt-have-in-your-kitchen/</a> </p>
