Secret Spineless Whine: Diet

I'm starting to doubt the nutritional value of croissants.

Teacher Mommy said...: Wait! NO! Come on--they fulfill a couple of the food groups, right? Grain (flour), dairy (butter), and protein (eggs). So they HAVE to be good for you!

Add some jelly or marmalade and you have a fourth food group covered...; April 17, 2009 at 12:46 PM

country mouse said...: Stop right there! Do NOT tell me that ice cream also has dubious nutritional content. My life can only suck so much . . .; April 17, 2009 at 2:50 PM

Yes, sir. They are nutritious.; April 17, 2009 at 6:32 PM
MommyTime said...: WHAT?! They aren't nutritious? Next you're going to try to tell me that filling them with chocolate does not add food group value to them. Lalalalalalala...I can't HEAR you...; April 17, 2009 at 8:57 PM
Em said...: I have a mathematical proof of their sound nutritional value:

Europeans eat croissants all the time - especially the chocolate-filled ones - they were all over the place when I was there.

And Europeans are all skinny.

Therefore, croissants have to be healthy! And by the same reasoning, probably cigarettes and liquor, too.; April 19, 2009 at 7:10 PM
