Transcript:
Pig: Hey, Jeff the Cyclist. What are you having for breakfast today? Cyclist: Fifty grams of oatmeal, one cup of berries, and a quarter cup of almonds. It's all part of my fitness regimen. Pig: That's great. Having a fitness regimen is important. Cyclist: Essential. And what is yours? Pig: I've stopped frying my Twinkies.

I heard of a couple of guys raising a pig. They fed it a lot of expired twinkies and fruit pies. the pig stroked out before they could enjoy the bacon! Maybe they should have fed it fresh twinkies.

I also heard twinkies can last years in the package and look as good as the day they were bought!

I’ve always preferred my breakfast Twinkies unfried, Pig. Glad to see you come around to these healthier ways! Don’t let that Jeff bully you into granola!

Before going whole hog with the health stuff, it’s best to start with little things.

Personally if you want junk food, go to the NC State Fair and get the hamburger between two haves of a Krispy Kreme donut instead of a bun, then go eat a deep fried candy bar.

ailurophile17, on your post yesterday. Gad, it’s good to read that I’m not the only one who does not understand all the fuss over Cul de Sac………when I hear the word ‘genius’ connected to this strip and the awards…..I just don’t understand….maybe it’s because I’m an old guy too.you folks who think Cul De Sac is the greatest thing since sliced bread, fine- think that way and have a nice day.

‘Like I said, this seems about right for Jeff’s caliber of people. “Whatever make me feel superior,”’Agreed. On the other hand, Americans are increasingly obese, particularly in the South. Looking at the stats, I’d even say ridiculously obese.

Actually, Jeff will probably go out for a 20 mile run and collapse with a heart attack a mile out.

Too bad because fried twinkies are so good.
Defective Premium Member almost 13 years ago
Most granola is actually pretty bad for you (store bought). It’s full of bad fats. Most granola munchers just munch it for the image, not the substance.

I didn’t say they were edible they jus looked that way.

I would have a fitness regimen, but I’m to busy to maintain one. So mostly I just eat whatever the hell I want and run a lot. I’m not a biker, but I’ve been a distance runner for six years and the mentalities are similar. Greatest perk about working out like that: we can eat whatever we want and not gain wait. Which is nice. And the endorphins are pretty fantastic too.

No bike lanes where I live either. The few there are intown are full of sand and garbage. Just be nice and share the road.
