My dogs refuse to eat anything sweet. They drop it like a bad habit. And I

think that's a pretty sane approach for diabetics ... There is no human need

for anything sweet, other than that in modern times we have fallen into that

pattern. The food manufacturers cater to that habit, and subtly but

pervasively foster it. (laughing hysterically, because I just typed " fondle

it " ). My old joke is that they start us off when we are babies, feeding us

sweetened food, then move us over to heavily-sugared cereals and other carby

and fatty snacks.

I occasionally watch TV now (after years of not missing it), and the food

ads sometimes make my jaw drop. They are now promoting pizza thingies you

drop into the toaster, like Pop-Tarts. Even 's tomato soup tastes

like overcooked-tomato-flavored candy now. It's hard to find grocery store

offerings that are not sweetened ... and high-carb. My old joke is that the

food manufacturers try to " break us in right " so that eventually, they can

serve us candy-flavored mucus and we'll go, " Yummmmm ... "

Like the dogs, I no longer eat sweets. I'm rarely tempted because that habit

is broken. Since sweets tend to be high-carb, this made more sense to me

than searching about for foods that are sweet-but-low-carb.

also cut it into 12 pieces.

I try to limit my carb counts to 45 grams per meal and one snack of 15

grams per day. No way that I would eat a piece of pie with 50 grams in

it. I might, however, have one bite and count it as a carb exchange.

LOL! that's a good one, Meni. 12 pieces.

(Wasn't there someone who wondered how you cut it into 8 pieces? I went

back to look, and couldn't find the post.)

Anyway -- . It's like my Mom used to say, quoting an uncle of hers:

The rule of the table was " Never take more than half the butter. "
