[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 591569, member: 41816"] The trouble is, if there were diabetic aisles in supermarkets, I'll bet they would be full of heart-healthy-complex-carbs :sour:, and cholesterol-lowering-cart-axle-grease :***:(aka marge type spreads), or even that carbuncle on the face of reality [B][I]diabetic chocolate[/I][/B] :yuck: The good stuff - butter, full fat cheese, meat, egg, fish, veg, berries and posh yummy 70% choccie are spread all over (very kindly fetched for me by an underpaid minion, and delivered to my door by another). I was a minion once - a summer job in a supermarket, on the customer services desk o_O. And some plonker came in and ranted mightily about how this was the third week we had failed in our duty to provide him with articially sweetened, low fat, pseudo dairy diabetic icecream. Of course, I smiled sweetly, apologised, explaining about our delivery problems, yada yada. Probably nonsense. Then went home to snaffle a portion of Haagen Daas with extra double cream (yes, even then I low carbed, and looked for the highest fat content :wacky:) Poor sod. I mean, what kind of a life did he have? [I][B]Food is life[/B][/I]! And [I][B]love! [/B][/I] And [B][I]good[/I][/B] icecream rivals mediocre hanky panky. Imagine how miserable his existence must have been - reduced to near apoplexy at the un-availability of a mainly synthetic dessert. [/QUOTE]
