YES IT'S MORNING AGAIN



Breakfast today (sorry Pappy) is Black Cherry Yogurt



Now that is YUK



Wife caught me eating fried baloney last night, now I'm paying



She tried to fool me with Breyers on the label, said it was just like their ice cream

It must be where they clean the floor after making ice cream and put it in these misleading labels

Found this article on my front page this morning.... Thought it was noteworthy.....

http://money.aol.com/bw/general/canvas3/_a/whats-in-my-food/20060808141909990001
 
Here's the gist of it....
 
Few people know that the food coloring listed as cochineal extract comes from female beetles. Food activists want to spread the word.

When you dig into a strawberry or black cherry yogurt, take a moment to contemplate where the beautiful pink color comes from. Strawberries? Think again. It comes from crushed bugs. Specifically, from the female cochineal beetles and their eggs.
