I know they're supposed to be quite similar, but perhaps HFCS is a little slower to send the "I'm full" message to one's brain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-41621731406492469672007-10-19T20:23:00.000-04:002007-10-19T20:23:00.000-04:00DV - you might be on to something, here.

So I always kind of took it that *processed* meant something along the lines of "all the human work has been taken out of it, so when you eat it it's just going to sit there as FAT." <BR/><BR/>As I said, I don't know if this is true, and please don't go quotin' me.... but it stuck in my head as a good reason to snack on fruits and veggies instead of sweets and salties.danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088260285661911833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-27382252984627790182007-10-19T09:20:00.000-04:002007-10-19T09:20:00.000-04:00Can't answer that last question regarding what mak...Can't answer that last question regarding what makes processed food's bingeability, except to posit that buying and eating requires minimal thought and exposure while buying, making, waiting, and then eating takes more effort, thus possibly sending messages to the brain of the type, "Hey, easy there buddy! Remember how long it took to get to this place (or is that plate?). Slowly, very slowly with the spoon(fork) action."<BR/><BR/>There is a bakery 1/2 mile away run by a Czech woman. We treat ourselves to her cakes, which easily weigh in at 4-5 lbs, at least once a month. The bakery is of an open air design, so that while you're buying, you see her staff doing the heavy lifting, mixing, and decorating. There's visible work associated with the final product. Eating more than one fairly slim slice is a chore.<BR/><BR/>Wonder if it's the visible work that cuts the bingeability factor?<BR/><BR/>As far as your daughter's worthy wordiness is concerned, what better compliment can you receive on your food work than, <B>"I's fillsome."</B><BR/><BR/><B>"I want extra much"</B> is a subset of a kid's <B>"I want much more than enough"</B>. Kids get the limitations (and the need to exceed them) of geometry (specifically cylinders) at a very early age. How they translate that innate geometric view into words is always an interesting experience.DarkoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572734667248592785noreply@blogger.com
