Watchwoman:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0I should have put this item under HUM\u263aR because it’s a joke! \u00a0I found the following article in this morning’s newspaper and had to share it with you. \u00a0Anything you ever wanted to know about eating, carbs, calories, fat grams and what to eat and not to eat, you can find on-line for free and not spend $50 an hour to learn it. \u00a0No computer? \u00a0Not a problem, go to the library and get 500+ books on the topic there! \u00a0Moreover, if education got you skinny, then I’d be a toothpick, because, believe me when I tell you, I know as much about this topic as any dietician — and I still struggle with my weight and eating every day of my life! \u00a0Education won’t get anyone thin. Eating less is the only solution and telling someone to eat less will not make a hill of fat beans difference! \u00a0This is a total waste of our tax dollars and will only take more needed tax dollars from the already over-taxed Medicaid program. \u00a0In 20 years they are going to find out they have spent billions and there are still the same percentage of fat people as ever. \u00a0Mark this down in your calender and look at my prediction on August 27, 2021. \u00a0Look at LBJ’s War on Poverty – there are more poor people today than when he signed the bill. \u00a0Government is not the solution. \u00a0Education is not the solution. \u00a0And if they took time in school to stop putting condoms on cucumbers and\u00a0bananas\u00a0and teaching about sodomy and\u00a0sodomites\u00a0and spent that time teaching about carbs and calories, it wouldn’t cost anyone anything, would it? \u00a0Idiots and dummies in government can always find ways to spend your money — it’s called socialism — communism —\u00a0otherwise\u00a0known as “redistribution of wealth” — only it’s always YOUR wealth<\/span> they are redistributing! \u00a0Meanwhile they convince you they have the solution to a\u00a0problem\u00a0so they take their first dibs on YOUR wealth, and add it to their wealth! \u00a0It works in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. \u00a0Just take a little bit out of every pot and guess who ends up with all the money! \u00a0The “house”! \u00a0If you want to know the nutritional value of any food item you can think of, including the fat grams, carbohydrate count, calorie count, how much sodium (salt) and how many vitamins and minerals, just click on the following hyperlink. \u00a0It is a searchable database and after a few minutes you can be an expert too. \u00a0This is a comprehensive web site \u00a0and the best place I have ever found for counting whatever nutrient you want to count, fat, carbs, calories. \u00a0Check it out!\u00a0<\/span><\/em>http:\/\/www.lowcarb.ca\/low-carb-tools\/index.html<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve copied and pasted the page below that will open, but this is only half the story. \u00a0Wait till you see all the nutrients you’ll have displayed before your eyes when you search for a specific food! \u00a0It’s utterly amazing! \u00a0And please, don’t let the words “Carbohydrate Counter”<\/strong> discourage you. \u00a0That’s only one part of the nutrients listed. \u00a0Believe it or not, a\u00a0carbohydrate\u00a0and a calorie is considered a nutrient — although for some of us, it is more like an enemy<\/span><\/em>! \u00a0Tee hee.\u00a0\u25ac \u00a0Donna Calvin<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
