Guess which upscale coffee cafe put a complimentary 12-oz beverage coupon in the newspaper today for their seasonal specials? The special flavors are: Peppermint Mocha Latte, Gingerbread Latte, and - drumroll - EGGNOG Latte.

Wanna bet these aren't low-fat?

Bet there's just a little sugar in them also.


Have you seen the new KFC commercials targeting low carb dieters?

And I'm still not eating KFC....

I visited the Starbucks website to check the "nutritional" values of their higher-fat fun brews (don't you love how they use the term "nutritional"???). The seasonal specials I mentioned aren't listed, BUT I did check out my favorite of the frappuccinos from last summer, the grande Choco Malted Blended Creme. Yikes, now I know what has been sitting on my hips and in my arteries! The new ones are probably a little healthier, since they're coffee-based and you can get them non-fat. But the sugar content is likely also off the charts, unless Starbucks has sugar-free syrups available.
