My wife's aunt got on a carrot kick and ate so many she turned orange.

This is not a joke, she really did.

Yes you can and the coolest part is that your dura mater can turn orange too!

If it did she would have Xanthochromia caused by carotenemia.

She is a little wacky, I'm sure her dura mater turning orange didn't help things any.

Tango, it's sounds like you have an addictive personality. Hopefully it's just for food items, lol:)

Mickey D's (fast food)was my my downfall. I used to work so much it was the only thing I had time for. Now I just liked a milkshake going into (midnight) work & an occasional breakfast coming home.

BUT NOW......they don't have milkshakes (for the winter I guess) so I'm trying to wean myself off my addiction. Only once this week, so I'm MUCH better.

A Single Soda a Day Hikes Heart Health Risk 48 %
Okay this is not a food or candy but:

The Times reports that those who drank at least one soda (either regular or diet) a day had a 44% higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome during the four years of the study.
The paper reports that those who drank at least one soda per day also had:
• a 31% greater risk of becoming obese;
• a 30% higher risk of having a larger waist line;
• a 25% higher risk of developing high blood triglycerides or high blood sugar;
• a 32% greater risk of having low levels of good cholesterol;
• a trend toward an increased risk of high blood pressure.

I was at a meeting last night and when offered a diet soda a 9 year old little girl said "I can't have any diet drinks, mommy says it turns stuff in my tummy to wood pulp."!!!!

I made a deal with my son a couple months ago, that if he would stop drinking soda until Christmas, I would buy him a nintendo hand held game thingy. So far he has had maybe 2.

pizza is good for you because you eat it with beer. beer makes anything you eat with it good for you.

the french fries have to be from mcdonalds or portillos

My 17 year old daughter hasn't had a soda of any kind in almost 3 years and it was totally her idea.I never thought she could do it but you wouldn't believe the difference it made. She has almost totally eliminated any signs of pimples and is wearing smaller jeans now than she was at 14

i read somewhere that people that drink diet soda don't lose weight. i guess drinking soda in general is associated with bad eating habits, so what you lose in zero cals in the soda you just pick up somewhere else.

My current obsession is Stacy's Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips.

I really think chocolate should be it's own food group. There are so many kinds out there now. Used to be just milk chocolate and dark chocolate.

I will have to try Diet Squirt! I really need to get off the Diet Mountain Dew.

I could go for a martini, a large bag of Cheetos, and a Dove ice cream bar. I bet those things would mix nicely in the tummy!

That is a strange mixture of cravings Lyra! The only thing I really craved was cold food, especially really cold fruit.

CD...it is kinda like Fresca but it has more fizz for some reason!

I'm also liking Edys Slow Churned Ice Cream Bars with almonds!!!

I wouldn't say those are cravings per se, those are just things I always wish I could eat! LOL. I haven't eaten Cheetos in a coon's age (haha), even though I heart them. And really I haven't even wished I could drink lately, but a martini would be nice.

One thing I have to have, speaking of cold fruit, is a grapefruit every day...I never ate a grapefruit a day in my life before.

Later on in the pregnancy you might feel the baby hiccup! My son would hiccup in the womb if I ate something really sweet.

Anything with high fructose corn syrup, of which most sodas list as the first ingredient, is pretty much garbage for your body.

I would say my weak spot is chicken wing. they have all that skin on them but daaaaaaaaaang I love me some chicken wangs with blue cheese!
