Break 1

Well, the moratorium was broken yesterday.. and on the weekend.. no major breakdowns but a bit of bending of the rules and a lapse in judgement...

On Saturday, working behind the table at Fan Expo, I had stocked up on energy bars and whatnot, as well as having some in reserve from the last Superstore grocery visit. One of the energy bars had chocolate chips in it (*gasp*) and while you can't even tell the little buggers are in there by taste, I justified it by saying "I'd already purchased it before the moratorium went in effect".

Yesterday, a half-eaten snack bag of Ritz Bitz sat atop the counter and before I even paused I had downed a handful. Then I remembered that Ritz have trans fat, which is why I don't buy them anymore, and despite the recent spate of commercials trumpeting Ritz's trans-fat-freeness, they've yet to clear the shelves of all the old product, and most Ritz you'll still find include trans fat (the sneaky buggers have been promoting their crackers as "0 grams of trans fat*" with that meaning their serving size of 9 crackers is essentially zero grams of trans fat, but who eats 9 crackers? You can't have hydrogenated anything in your ingredients without getting trans fat, dontcha know?
