String Cheese

When is cheese better than just cheese? When it's melted, or slathered in peanut butter, or when it comes in prepackaged cylinders just the right size to eat one after another until the cholesterol overwhelms your system rendering you unconscious.

Because cheese, like most good things on the planet, is meant to be enjoyed in excess, and anything that facilitates a rapid ingestion of goodness can't be bad. And anything that is good, facilitates goodness and is the mortal enemy of bad deserves a place in every American refrigerator.

So no. I don't eat cheese this way. I fantasize about it, though. String cheese is to dairy products as Pringles are to fried, mostly potato-based snack foods. Betcha can't eat just one.

Snackoholic

I love snacking, I know it's not good for me, but that doesn't stop me from loving it. I usually wait an hour or so after I eat dinner to start snacking. These days I try not to over do it, it's not good for my stomach or for my acid reflux to eat late night snacks.

Usually around 8pm I'll have some desert, these days we've been addicted to ice cream, so I'll have a few scoops. Then around 9pm I have a salty snack like popcorn, veggie chips, or nuts. It just makes my night complete. I usually end up over doing it a bit and regretting in the morning. I think if I had a little bit more self control it wouldn't be so bad for me. I'll start working on it.
