I use that phrase all the time that junk food has to be worth the calories.

Timing makes a big difference for me, but off the top of my head---good fried chicken, cakes from Victoria's cakery, good bakery cheesecake or fudgy stuff, pizza, good mac and cheese (not the boxed stuff).

Popcorn at the movies ~ with extra butter!


I am always suckered at a shower or something by chips and dips~ but I add in my veggies with the dip, too!

i saw someone in the elevator the other day who had just bought a hershey's milk chocolate bar with almonds as a snack, and my instant though was that it was SO not worth it. if you are going to eat chocolate, i wouldn't waste it on a hershey's bar! bleh. if i were going to eat a chocolate bar, i'd eat something delicious, like a "bat bar" or a "tiger bar" from endangered species chocolate company.


most of the time i don't think of things as being calorie worthy.

This topic has odd timing because right before my mom's visit, she and I were talking on the phone and I told her I was going grocery shopping and asked if she wanted anything. She said she wouldn't mind something decadent and I asked her what that would be. Her reply was Hostess cupcakes. My first thought was ewwww.... you can have the hostess cupcakes. I'll take the triple layer chocolate cake with mousse and ganache.

My standards have changed too... BUT, this is not to say that I wouldn't eat a hostess cupcake if they were simply there and the world had been mean to me that day.

I just unpacked boxes of Hostess cupcakes, hohos, etc. at the food pantry. I was looking at them, thinking, they look good!

i'm a junk food snob too. most commercial junk food doesn't tempt me at all. i have no interest in eating hostess anything, hershey's anything, frito-lay anything. but fresh-made tortilla chips and salsa from real mexican restaurant? T's mom's homemade peanutbutter and chocolate "eggs"? cinnamon bun from Sticky Fingers bakery? definitely tempting.


i think after you go long enough without eating those highly processed foods you really lose your taste for them. all that highly processed stuff doesn't really seem to me to have much of a taste at all, or it all sort of tastes the same.

I'm surprised at how my taste buds have changed and how some things I loved, like Hershey's chocolate, Reese's pb cups, Hostess things, etc. don't taste as good.
