I am sure that there is a soda pop somewhere called Diet-Rite. I hope they do not see this one!

A perfect poem for Halloween; I am sure that this diet works.

Hi Gershon almost three years ago now when we sold our family home, which had been in the family for 60 years, and we moved into a safe protected estate, I nearly had a nervous break down and cried for weeks We downsized everything we owned by at least, or probably more, than 50%, I lost 7 kilos, which I had been trying to do for years, I came right eventually, but now control what I eat, and have maintained the weight that I forever wanted. Drastic, but true! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Hi Gershon, Loved the poem... I had a friend was on a diet one time. She would eat all the rich foods, high in calories, but of course she'd have her Diet Cola. When she gained weight, she'd always blame the Cola for her weight gain. Good Write ~ Debbie

Your friend is right -- Surprise! That aspartame in the diet - Cola is fashioned (originally) from rat feces. Check it out. Talk about 'fat' and 'fattening.' ~ Frightened and Frightening, gw

I often shout at numpties on the radio. ‘We have canine teeth. These were given to us by God or evolution… Which are you denying?’ Love your poem, Gershon… (I don’t count all those giblets and creepy crawlies as meat) Good write. Terry

Oh, there are more recipes where this one came from, Linda. Just fill out my simple 23-page questionnaire about your weight-loss goals and dietary preferences -- and I'll send you a diet that'll have you tossing your cookies as soon as you look at it. lol. Thanks, and Keep Smiling, Gershon

As I have said many time, forget taste as food need only be nourishing . . . . .

Indeed...Give me meat with the side of meat. I hate these fancy diets...

(chuckling) It's always easier to put on than to take off...pounds, that is. But, I think I'd lose lots of this diet!
