Rep Power: 3 | I think the most fattening dishes and deserts are shown on Paula's shows because she uses so much butter that most of the food she cooks just can't be considered healthy!
We all like the smell and taste of real pure creamery butter in our food now and then, but there IS a limit to how must one is supposed to have on a daily basis. So the story goes.
Moderation is key to a happier healthier longer and illustrious lifestyle, I would think. | |

Rep Power: 3 | I don't TV food is making us fat. In fact, it has no smell to entice and each time I lick the screen, the taste is well... flat. Maybe some salt and butter would help.

Rep Power: 10 | Hey, that's an idea! Flavored TV screens...the screen changes flavors when you switch from one station to the next. Wouldn't that be something to actually taste the food in commercials?
