(I <b><i>love</i></b> beets!) Eating over can be problematic these days, if the host doesn't ask about issues, preferences, and allergies up front. For instance, I live with a celiac, meaning no gluten foods (no flour, no noodles, no beer, no pizza, no cookies, no oatmeal, no no) (at home we have specialty versions instead). Even eating at restaurants can be dicey. Neither of us does red meats and only one of us does poultry. So you're not the only one.<br /><br />It sounds like yours might be more than a dislike for particular foods. Your body may not tolerate certain substances. Even whether a vegetable is raw or cooked makes a big difference in terms of nutrients and digestion. A dietician might discover some long-held mysteries. Or quickly-vomited mysteries. "Is that corn?"<br /><br />I have a friend who, at the first whiff of oranges, runs to the bathroom to barf. She's allergic to all fruit. Even fake raspberry-red syrups. So technically she's even allergic to fake fruit.<br /><br />P.L. Frederick (<a href="http://smallandbig.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Small & Big</a>)P.L.

One of life's more horrible moments. I repeat: WHO THE HECK LIKES BEETS?!<br /><br />eeteed- Drake's IS owned by Hostess. Fortunately, they have not tampered with Yankee Doodles cupcakes or Funnybones, two of my favorite snack cake treats.<br /><br />Too bad about Dolly Madison. It warms my heart, though, to know that Zingers still live on. The world needs foods with names like "Zingers".Bill Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00231144346597143968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090354177947958136.post-35668624615059620712010-07-12T07:34:49.259-04:002010-07-12T07:34:49.259-04:00By the by and fyi, hostess bought dolly Madison a ...By the by and fyi, hostess bought dolly Madison a few years back. I suspect they did so mainly for the elimination of competition and the acquisition of dolly madison’s distribution network.<br /><br />The way things played out once they got their hands on dolly Madison for consumers went something like this:<br /><br />1) we suddenly found a large quantity and variety of dolly Madison products on our shelves (hostess probably wanted to see which sold best)<br /><br />2) all products that bore similarity to hostess products got axed<br /><br />3) packaging got redesigned to look exactly like hostess packaging, but still bore the dolly Madison logo<br /><br />4) all but a precious few products got axed<br /><br />5) the dolly Madison logo got replaced with the hostess logo<br /><br />I checked the convenience store I frequent, and the only dolly Madison based product they were selling was raspberry zingers.<br /><br />PS- if I’m not mistaken, hostess also owns drakes, or has some type of partnership with them. This has been going on for many years, and the drake products seem to have fared better than dolly Madison.<br /><br /><br />eeteedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7090354177947958136.post-62283966660077898982010-07-10T15:27:59.453-04:002010-07-10T15:27:59.453-04:00Beets, coleslaw and tartar sauce are the devils fo...Beets, coleslaw and tartar sauce are the devils foods!

While others may deride your "Condimephobia", I feel your pain. <br /><br />I have to say though, to me, a French Fry without ketchup is like a hug without a kiss.<br /><br />eeteed-I agree that most of us 60's kids owe our healthy eating choices to TV.<br /><br />I have, I am sad to say, never sampled a Dolly Madison product. They are just not available in my area. This was frustrating when I was young, as the company was a major sponsor of the Peanuts specials. How could they dangle such tempting treats in front of me if I couldn't have them?! This type of situation has been a pattern in my life.<br /><br />I think my choice of beverages may be a whole separate post. Hint: I love TAB.

I only try to stay away from blue foods or blue drinks as it looks light green in the toilet after I unleash the fury.<br /><br />Plus red foods like beets too! They make it look like you have blood in your stool since it turns mine red... yikes! <br /><br />Plus with all the hormones and additives, why not eat it so you can die fast with the rest of us?
