Thanks! These are interesting articles! I never knew half this stuff! XD

That's insane! I do knwo, when they take out the fat, they add more sugar. And I have to laugh at 100 calorie popcorn. If you make regular popcorn (this based on label reading of microwave popcorn) I've found regular popcorn has LESS calories when it's popped, than the 100 calorie kind. XD

We never walked to school, not cuz it wasn't safe cuz of abductions, but cuz of peeps who drive badly. Even as an adult, I've been nearly run over by drivers who fail to give me right of way. XD At least we were able to walk or ride bikes in high school to go places, since no one was home to drive us. XD I remember going to the park down the block, only when Mom had time to go with us. XD Sadly, you almost NEVER see kids playing outside & I don't even live on a busy street. XD You learned how to g4et along with peeps, cuz adults only interfered if there was bloodshed/violence. XD I work in childcare & these don't know how to entertain themselves, when they need to. XD It's insane! XD
