I have yet to come to terms with why things that are supposed to be so good for you, always have to taste like hemlock, or lawn.

Take cabbage, for example. There's yet another vegetable with all sorts of health benefits. As a matter of fact, several years ago there was even a wacky boiled cabbage diet. Yet I for one will pass on cabbage, boiled or leafy fresh. I just don't have enough "inner goat" I reckon...

What else?? Grapefruit. OK, there's one at least that has some flavour, but how many freakin' grapefruits can a person consume, if they aren't in a tropical Bellini at Happy Hour?? I can generally squirm my way through one, before my tongue starts to pucker up in self-defense, and restrict access to the balance of the fruit. Maybe that's part of the weight loss, not being to eat more than a half a grapefruit.

And yet, I can always fit more Fruit Loops in...go figure...

What the world needs is a diet pretzel, or potato chips made from baked cabbage leaves that don't retain any of that product's downsides, like taste, texture, or overall blah-ness.

Blah-ness is really what prevents me from embracing diets. My life needs pizazz, and a boiled cabbage leaf is seriously lacking in pizazz...

Chow for now!!
