Oh Flocke!!!
Was anyone else disappointed to discover the John Locke of Season 5-6 Lost is really the smoke monster?
I'm still pretty sad about it. He's such a pity case. He's got that my-life-is-so-pathetic-it-makes-me-cute thing going on big time. I'd totally nail him if I was like, twenty years older... Aaaand he was a real person, instead of a fictional character.
In the wheelchair.
Out of the wheelchair.
Who cares?!
But alas, Locke is Flocke. Old. Stuck on an island.
I'm FartyGirl, still shoveling out of the snowpocalypse.
Wanna hear about something else that's fake? High fiber processed foods.
This is info coming to you from another old issue of Nutrition Action. In their Fiber-Free-for-All, July/August 2008 issue, they define fiber from a new perspective. It's not soluble vs. insoluble. It's isolated vs. intact.
To lower cholesterol, fiber has to be both soluble and viscous. Isolated fibers like maltodextrin, inulin, oat fiber and polydextrose are not viscous. And these are the fibers being added to processed foods, whose labels proclaim in big cartoon letters: 100000% of your DAILY FIBER!!!
What processed foods, do you ask?
V8
Fiber One bars
And...
(sigh...)
my favorite...
365 Rice Milk
Yes, any info from 2008 is definitely not NEW info. BUT it is new to me. I drink 365 rice milk all the time. Now I know why I was guzzling cartons of it, but not feeling it's 35% of daily fiber in my guts.
Just another reason to shop at the farmer's market.
While we're on the topic of fake shit... let's talk about ME!!!
http://www.crescent-theatre.co.uk/
For the last two years, I've touted myself as "vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free." And you know what???? It was crap.
Every once in a while, I DO go out to breakfast with my girls and eat a hearty veggie omelet.
And when traveling to and from Florida, I ate Philly pretzels.
When it comes to sugar, for the last three years, I have been singing the angelic praises of agave. Now I know that it really doesn't matter. All sugar is sugar. Too much of it is bad.
No longer can I go on living with these LIES!!!
While my diet is going to stay generally vegan, gluten-free, and sugar-free, I don't want to publicize myself as one anymore. So I changed the heading of this blog to...
FartyGirl: The Queen of T.M.I.
I hope you likes it! And I hope tonight's episode of Lost isn't as boring as last week's was!
C'mon Hurley... crack a joke...
or at least a smile...
please?

Dear Farty Girl,
You make me laugh. I like that you give TMI. My sisters are always telling me I give way TMI. But I can't help myself.

Your TMI sister
You know what they say about *confession*...
I dumped Fiber One bars awhile back since they have high maltose corn syrup.
Of course, there's plenty of other stuff that I should eliminate but I have my reasons, including just wanting to eat certain things...

I get a digestive health news thing sent to me by smartbrief twice a week. Got that story a month ago, and totally wasn't surprised, but basically same story. I think food in their natural high fibre states is way tastier anyway:)
I was a little disappointed in Lost last week as well, I hope tonight's is better :)

1) Man, am I apparently in the minority about last week's episode. Maybe I was so elated to not totally hate a Kate episode that I overrated it...
2) Buying a stupid bottle of V8 has become a major task every time I go to the grocery store - I don't want low-sodium, I don't want high fiber, I don't really care about antioxidants, I just...I JUST WANT SOME STUPID V8! (and that is why I end up buying the store brand, which tastes exactly the same but doesn't tax my brain with dietary judgments).
You really crack me up. I LOVE yor honesty. TMI yes, but still love how you put it all out there.
I tout myself as sugar free but I eat maple syrup. None of us are perfect...alas, I keep trying to no avail.
Have a good weekend Farty Girl!
your posts are so brutally honest, I love it!
Hey dearie,
There's an award for you at my blog.
wow, you have even more snow than we do...hope you're not stuck inside for too long =)
really interesting post...i just started taking nutrition classes and i think the best thing is to just eat real foods, but don't worry if you like some of the fake shit every once in a while.
