I love junk too. but i try to find good junk. With the exception of coca cola, which i love, I allow myself one or two 8 or 10 oz bottles per week of that... and the other junk, potato chips, corn chips cheddar crackers etc... I always check and make sure there aren't any hydrogenated fats in there or soy. soy at a minimum is ok but don't over do it, don't eat it everyday.

I betcha there are hydrogenated fats in these bagels though. I buy them at the bakery so no label to check, they taste wonderful. I hate beng without junk food it's a shame. salsa and chips ummm... beer... an occasional pizza...

I have a huge need for carbohydrates or I get so skinny. i've always been this way. do not mention the word pastry to me. I gave up donuts years ago though and I have not eaten pork in several years. I do eat lots of yummy natural yogurt. There is sugar in there though.

agave is suppose to be good stuff. if you can eat that you can eat xyltol and stevia. Both of those are natural too.

we go through a lot of xylitol when it's in the house, gets expensive for a sweetner. my daughter especially loves it. It's actually good for you, kills bacteria, inhibits yeasts etc..

one thing I really hate is cake. how I have always hated cake, those thick super sugary icings, eeeuw.
