Fiorella is sick and tired of being told what to eat--what is GOOD for her to eat, to be more exact. She grew up being told that milk was nature's most perfect food, but later she was told that it was fattening and that adult digestive systems didn't handle it well. She also learned that chocolate, which she loved, was bad for her. Coffee too. And that she should cut down on eggs and bacon and saturated fats in favor of carbohydrates. Now, all of that has been reversed.
All Fio asks for is that she be left in peace to enjoy her hamburger, fries, and ice cream..

Snappy Snippets
Fiorella is the toilet paper fairy and the only one in the house who knows how to throw stuff in the waste basket, to close cabinet and pantry doors, or to empty the dishwasher. If she didn't open the blinds every morning, they'd stay shut all day. In short, she's female.

Re: dogs. We take them in for shots and medical treatments, we feed them, we decide whether they should mate and with whom. How did they ever get along without us?

All Fio's good habits have come back to haunt her. Coffee, tea, and wine, which she never or rarely drinks, are now good for you while milk, which she guzzles like a newborn calf, is now on the bad list.

Fio could title a book The Right Thing to Do and no one would buy it. If she called the book The Wrong Thing to Do, it would be a best seller'

Matricide--is Fio a serial killer of motherboards?

Flavor of the Week
Every day a new life-style study seems to come out. Eating chocolate extends women's lives by three months. Drinking coffee also adds some extra time. And quaffing red wine staves off dementia, as do fatty fish.
Fiorella's eyes are glazing over. It's like the late 1800s. when everyone and their dog was setting up eating regimens, one of which--Kellog--gave Fio her favorite breakfast cereal, shredded wheat.
But maybe we've got the cart before the horse. Maybe it's that the people who snack on chocolate, drink coffee, and eat fatty fish have more access to health care or were born with hardier genes.
Fio suspects most of these studies are question-answer surveys. She's withholding her endorsement until she sees medical reports explaining why these things work.
