Re: A shocking haircut (on topic)

She probably saw the Burger King post from our nutrition expert. ;-)
Seriously, there are so many people walking around who have no clue.
People are out there buying those sugar free cookies, eating mashed
potatoes and gravy, and all kinds of other things that cause problems,
but won't put a teaspoon of sugar in their coffee. Hopefully, she was
joking about the Tic-Tac, because AFAIK they're sugar free. My personal
experience has been, that most people don't appreciate being told what
they should or shouldn't eat, but if you see her again, couldn't hurt to
try.
