Earl and Thurgood Marshall would have understood each other. Marshall said, “If I’d known I was going to live this long, I never would have given up smoking and drinking.”
My last bloodwork said 345 for one of the cholesterol tests. My daughter (cardiac RN) got a little miffed when I told her don’t worry about it. I got high score at the blood lab that week. Changing life starting 2 weeks ago.
For a couple of reasons, my eating habits changed to the healthier side of the spectrum in the last six months. But I’m not a purist, and I like trying new things (recently tried Alligator Chowder). If I were at a street fair where they were offering a deep-fried twinkie, I might be tempted, just once, to see what it’s all about. But neither the unfried nor the deep-fried variety would become a regular part of my diet.

Guess Earl will never know…since Roscoe took advantage of his momentary lapse of concentration!

Not just a deep-fried Twinkie. A deep-fried Twinkie on a stick! One more indication that state fair season is upon us.

You’d mostly find deep fried Twinkies at state fairs and county fairs and maybe pumpkin farm food stands.

Deep fried or not, a twinkie is an organic hand grenade to the body.

Deep frying almost anything makes it taste good.
That’s because Cholesterol is what they put in food to make it more appealing.

The only way I’d want to live forever is if my body didn’t degrade over time… and if people stopped reproducing

Deep fried twinkies were invented by the pharmaceutical industry so they could sell more Statins.

I don’t like Twinkies even when not they’re not deep-fried – much better junk food to be had in Mexico anyway!

Live a long time and your last years will be filled with pain, dementia, and/or other woes. You may end up in an old folks home waiting to die.
