I am a part time nerd, part time chef and full time whiner. Did I type whiner? I meant winner...no wait, I whine a lot. I've worked in High Tech and Television and a few places in between. I've eaten fire roasted snakes and hand fulls of peeps (not in the same sitting of course). I'd like to share my experiences, so read on.

New Years Resolutions that suck.

The year was 2005. I was working at FFIC, and I was addicted. Addicted to a potato treat.

Tater Tots.

Yes...the fried, greasy, salty delicacy that I loath.

My resolution for the year of 2006 was simple. Not to eat a single tater tot. This was obviously a symbolic gesture, as I still ate my share of french (freedom!) fries, and has browns once in a while.... The entire point of this was to use will power to say no to something I enjoyed.

This year, I am stepping it up. My no no's this year? High Fructose Corn Syrup

It's the sugar base for many, many drinks. It's a speciall processed form of sugar that is easily mixed into many products. And it's not super bad for you, but there are better ways to get sugars into your body. Just a little fact, if you drink just 5 sodas/snapples a week, that's 2 cups of sugar right there. And thats if you drink regular sized ones from burger king etc.

I've been sober of tater tots for 1 year 1 month now. And sober from soda/gateraid/snapple etc for a month.

Alternatives?

Juicy Juice
Juice Squeeze
Fresh Juice
