These? Never seen them here. Marinela and Bimbo have a wide assortment of treats. I'm partial to Pinguinos...throw 'em in the freezer. Enjoy. Drool.
um...in that photo I put up, it says 'Find bugs & win'. Win what, a lawsuit? |

| A few months ago Time magazine had an article about eating habits around the world, and they photographed families with their weekly food consumption spread all over their kitchen. For a lot of the countries I was like, EEEEEEEW... but when I saw the picture of the Mexican family I thought, "I could totally live there and not gain weight!" They had so little meat, dairy and processed foods- just the way I like to eat. I believe - don't quote me on this - that they even had to add an additional category for beans and legumes to their budget breakdown; that category didn't appear on the lists for any other country. Did you bring a lot of your bad Canadian habits with you to Mexico? |
We talked about that on my parents of twins forum, the pictures were up on Time.com, I'm not sure if they still are. There is actually a LOT of dairy in the Mexico picture, but most Northern types can't recognize it for what it is. There is something like 15 liters of milk, but the twin moms thought there was no milk in the picture because they didn't know that milk can come in a box!
You're going to Guadalajara right? If you want to get away from processed foods, you're better off in the hinterland. The only thing we ever eat out of a can is tuna about once every two weeks. I do let my daughters eat Trix cereal as a snack--I rather they munch on that then candy or chips.
I won't buy anything made by Kinder because I have strong objections to their advertizing campaignes which are based on convincing parents that Kinder products are an aceptable alternative to milk  . |

Dairy + Ferrero -
When my brother was really young (like, five or six) he used to make sandwiches with Nutella and Kraft Singles on a hamburger bun, heated in the microwave. The smell made me so ill I would have to wait outside until he was done eating them. Just thinking of them really does make me gag. |

| The diet starts tomorrow <groan>. For those of you keeping tabs, I will be consuming no more than a bit of black coffee, some spinach, a small piece of steak, and very likely the first person that so much as looks at me the wrong way, in a carb/taco-deficient rage. |

Wow, that's a really adult eating plan.
Are you sure you're not a fourteen-year-old girl trying to achieve the Tara Reid look? |

| My secret is out...and I admit to having cheated just a little on the plan today, but only with a slightly out-of-bounds salad dressing. |

Guy what you need are some gull stones. 
Gull stones + Public Health = seven months on a no fat diet. Give into temptation and you'll be doubled over in pain. My patented no fail diet plan, I lost 20lbs. |

| Actually it's gallstones. All one word. It wasn't meant as sarcasm. I have some gall, don't I? |

Tranquila! I come in peace!
Besides, I love sarcasm, it seems to be a kind of humor shared by Mexicans and British.
Hey, you edited your post before I finished mine...  |

If gallstones, or gull stones, or hell even gulls or stones could offer me a bit of relief from this diet I would take it.
3 days. I'm still at 77 kg. 170 pounds. I weighed 150 when I left Acapulco 3 years ago. |
