Okay, but hear me out… Trader Joe’s Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper soup in a carton is pretty tasty and handy, too. I add veggies, basil and Parmesan.

Agreed! Everything is “honey this” and “glazed that”.

Mahout your mouth. Mango and sticky rice is one of the best desserts ever.


DP. You're right but that's an exception.

Haha the first time I made quinoa I thought it was full of bugs. Then I googled a picture and realized it's supposed to have little tails ...

Crepes are gross. They're like skin.

Putting tomatoes in the refrigerator is sacrilege.

Plantains are bland and boring.

If you're a vegetarian, eat vegetables. Trying to turn plants into bacon and hamburger is just gross, overprocessed fake food. Same with protein bars and smoothies packed with powders.

Just eat real food.

Really? I have no problems finding all of the above without sugar. Just read labels and there are plenty of options



I am sort of appalled at how much sugar has been demonized in recent years. Many of you don’t remember the similar treatment “cholesterol” got and how we would recoil from butter. Pasta used to be considered a healthful choice in the 90s. I like to add a little sugar to my red sauce to balance the acidity.


That’s different, and fine. But go look at the packaged bread aisle, condiments, packaged cereals, snacks, beverages, ice cream, etc. All full of sugar and especially corn syrup. It’s absolutely different than what you would have seen on the shelves when I was a kid and not in a good way.

I bet if it was a tub of mascarpone you would feel differently…
