Minyanville, a nice business and finance site, recently did a piece on the new ‘fast food diets’ like Taco Bell’s drive through diet, and Subway’s Jared campaign. Read the fine print in the Taco Bell ad – ‘an exceptional experience based on a 1250 calorie diet.’ You read that correctly…1250 calorie. That is…ridiculous, especially considering that the bean burritos are like 18,719,834,782,934 calories…roughly speaking. Less with the ‘Fresco Salsa.’
In ladyfriend news, she’s decided to go all out and eat strictly vegan. While I can’t say this is my idea of good eating, I gotta throw my support behind her. I even made a vegan dinner the other night. My Mother is beyond impressed. She had a bunch of that Activia yogurt in the refrigerator that she can’t eat anymore. The solution? I’m taking the Activia challenge. To be completely honest, I’m not sure what the big challenge of eating a thing of yogurt every day is, but the stuff is pretty delicious. I’m also not sure what the challenge is supposed to do, but my sources tell me it helps make you “regular”. When I did some research on Google, apparently this means it makes you poop a lot. Looking forward to it.
