There's still some left to the box of those little oreo knock-offs. They're a little too sweet for me to munch too many at one time. Dag's been helping.
But that's PERFECT! They're too sweet to have more than maybe two at a time. So they're lower in fat, have no trans fats, provide a sugar rush, AND sickening if you overindulge! Thay're almost as good as alcohol!
<grin>
I don't know that they are lower in fat than regular oreos.
I looked it up. Oreos and non-trans-fat knock offs have about the same amount of fat - the knock-offs may have a bit more.
Potato chips for me, please!
When I see all the things we aren't supposed to eat, I can't help but wonder, how so many people have manged to live to be over 90 years!
Smoking, booze, high cholesterol, ...etc
New Haven- I think that it has a lot to do with genetics. There are some people who will just sniff a hot dog, and their arteries will develop more cholesterol. Others can eat whatever they please, and nothing adverse will happen to them.
I walk past a bakery, and will gain two pounds!
You're not the only one! Me too!

In that case I'll probably stick with the low fat Oreos and take my chances. Based on family history, I don't have THAT much to worry about. Besides, only the good die young.
I have a deeply rooted, if tepid, fear that I will live and die like the majority of my elders. A long and not so pleasant decline. I'd rather die healthy, thanks. It seems, in my family, that living an unhealthy lifestyle doesn't kill us young, it just makes us unhealthy for longer.
Most of my family has gone "the easy way": heart attack in their sleep in their early seventies.
This guys just after some big bucks by filing this law suit. He's a scumbag of the first order.
c.i.
Well, I am having an Oreo, mostly because I am young and don't expect to die anytime soo....uurgh! <thud>
cav, I hope the sales of Oreos goes through the roof as a result of this scumbags law suit.
c.i.
I don't consider him a scum bag. I think he performed a useful service.
edgar, Useful service for himself. You really think he can control the poor eating habits and junk food for everybody? Come on! Get real. c.i.
c.i. - if one person smartens up about their eating habits as a result of the lawsuit, it will have been a very good thing, IMNSHO. I don't care about the lawyer's 'real' motives, I just care that he brought some attention to this issue.
He dropped the suit once it got the media attention he wanted it to get. He has an organization that means to educate the people about trans fats.
