wrong. wrong. wrong.

There's free coffee at the office, and while it's not very good coffee, hey, man, free coffee.

For additives I have a choice between whole milk and nondairy creamer. Which is okay, whole milk is almost as good as half-and-half for lightening coffee, so I go along with that.

This morning I noticed a quart of half-and-half in the fridge. Which I wouldn't go out of my way to get, but you know, as long as it's there, I might as well.

So I took it out. And then I saw what it was.

It was "Fat Free Half & Half."

What the hell? Fat free half-and-half? Like dehydrated water? Or unscented deodorant? How the hell is that supposed to work?

The ingredient list includes nonfat milk, milk, corn syrup solids, a whole mess of carageenan and a bunch of things I don't know how to spell. In defeat, I put it in my coffee anyway, and so far I haven't exploded.

Yes! Well, sometimes. Some of them.

And vice versa. They're overlapping sets, but there are also whole grain breads that aren't particularly low-carb. prilicla and I have been eating whole grain bread for years (in my case, likewise after a childhood in which I would accept nothing but white bread and deeply resented visiting my aunt and uncle who only bought wheat bread), but we've become much more aware of carb content since she started needing to control her blood sugar.
