Just had to chime in on the bagel discussion.

As a Jewish kid growing up in Brooklyn, NY, bagels are one thing I know

about and have strong opinions about. There are lots of things that I'll

substitute for on WW - FF Frozen Yogurt or Lite Ice Cream instead of

full fat - for example - but, with bagels - no!!!!

Actually, I've cut way down on my bagel consumption - pre WW it was

a bagel pretty much every morning. When WW started, I cut down to

1/2 bagel. Then when I started eating Kashi for breakfast (mostly to

help with the fiber intake and the resulting intestinal benefits), I now

do bagels only " once-in-a while " . However, when I do, I'm not happy

unless they're true bagel bakery bagels --- the usual size, I count as 6

points a bagel - and I'll usually eat only half. My wife slices them and

we keep a bag of froze half-bagels in the freezer. Just toast one up

when you want it --- Lenders are OK in a pinch, and certainly they're

more point friendly - but I'd still rather have 1/2 a regular bagel then a

whole Lender's bagel.

BTW, outside of the NY/NJ/CT area - I still haven't found a bagel that

" measures up " .
