Oatmeal and 1/4 stick of butter?!?!?!

[bif]

A guy here at work is trying to lower his cholesterol. So he has a bowl of oatmeal every morning with a quarter stick of butter, cream and sugar in it. I guess some people are clueless.

1. Mmmmmm....

Sounds good to me! :D

[Demit]

2. Well, he IS lowering his cholesterol. Right into that bowl of oatmeal, lol

3. Sounds like an "Elvis" Breakfast..................

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. as long as he shoots the TV while he's eating

I wonder why he doesn't put a lattice of bacon over it, too?

5. If by clueless you mean not well-informed about nutrition...

you're right. My husband and I watched Super Size Me last night. In one scene the filmmaker, Morgan Spurlock, asks a number of people what a calorie is. Ummmmmmmm, they say. It has something to do with fat, right?

6. Well...

I've been losing weight by putting the stickybuns on top of the refrigerator.

Calories, you see, are afraid of heights, and jump out of the stickybuns and hide in the ant traps I put up there.

It works, I tell you!

8. Don't forget about "calorie spillage"!

As long as the item (usually cookies, donuts, muffins, etc.) is in pieces before you eat it, the calories spill out!

One can dream, no?

9. Diet Pepsi dissolves calories.

It's true, I tell you.

Also, calories don't count if you eat them standing up or if it's your birthday.

7. That recipe should work in the right proportions

Let's say a quarter-stick of butter, a cup of cream and a half-cup of sugar to roughly 10 pounds of oatmeal. I hope he has a very large bowl.
