Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 why a lot of Americans have problems in controlling their weight. I'm on vacation this week and I decided to cross the borders yesterday. I went to Plattsburgh, NY (a 90 minute drive from Montreal), and decided to check out a grocery store for all the low fat, low cal food I've been hearing about the last few months. I was in total shock!! You guys have access to the most snack food, high fat food, high calorie food I've ever seen!!! On the other hand, you also have the greatest access to diet foods I've ever seen. I stocked up on all sorts of low fat snack foods that we don't get up here. I was like a kid in a candy shop... When I came back to Canada, my car was full of groceries, and the border agent was kinda stumped, but let me go thru anyways! LOL One thing I did notice that we have more of in Canada is imported cheeses and meats, but that's about it! Here's what I bought that we don't get here: Kashi Go Lean, Skinny cows, Chips made with Olean, diet Dr Pepper, Diet Mountain Dew, Butter flavored spray, Frozen WW entrees, Lean pockets and every flavor imaginable of Luna, Balance and Zone bars! When Gilbert tasted the Olean chips, he said that I was torturing him, and asked me why I didn't bring back a case of it! Janick who will probably make more trips like this in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
