Panel commissioned to update the Dietary Guidelines for Americans say to
turn off the tv and get some exercise!

Wow, who'd have ever thought that sensible advice would come from a
government panel.

The show on PBS was about ice cream (called An Ice Cream Show) and I was
amazed that almost all the ice cream makers (except for Ben & Jerry) and
servers were thin.  I wonder if having an unlimited amount available curbs
those particular people's urge to eat not only ice cream but in general.  If
it was me, I'm afraid I'd weigh 300 lbs if I could eat all the ice cream I
wanted!

most people who work in some food manufacturing process do not like to
eat what they make...

I worked in an ice cream plant for a summer between college years.  They had
a rule that you could eat all the free ice cream you wanted during breaks,
including lunch.  I thought that was absolutely wonderful.

The first week.

You could always tell someone who was new.  They were eating ice cream.

The only thing that saves me at the cafe I work at part-time is the
salad bar, They serve everything imaginable that's unhealthy from
Chicken Fried Steak to Double Meat cheeseburgers in which ALL the
servings are so monstrous one plate would feed 4 normal folks. The
Chicken fried steaks COVER a full platter. I can't eat anything from the
menu there. It's a typical country cafe. Everything is slathered in
cream or brown gravy and served with not one, but TWO homemade biscuits.
Friday nights is all you can eat fried catfish (and it is delicious)
with fries, homemade hushpuppies, corn and coleslaw. Sat nights is the
Steak and Shrimp special. Breakfast is served all day everyday. Today I
did eat there but I had 2 scrambled eggs and 2 pieces of bacon and then
later a small salad. I can't force myself to eat anything else from
there after serving it all day (it's the only game in my small town and
its VERY busy) Yuk.

I feel for you!

I used to date a girl who worked at Subway, she would always bring
home subway food. I have not eaten there for years, and not due to any
romantic emotions of any sort -- simply got tired of that food.

Now that you make your own bread, don't you think the Subway rolls are
terrible?  I just can't eat yuckky bread.

I do not remember very well how those rolls tasted... But there was
somethign artificial to that food. Or maybe I was simply tired of it.

What bugged me was their *script*, it was the same at every one - "What
veggies are we having on that today?" and even though I adore veggies,
I'd feel compelled to say "Don't bother - put on extra bacon and mayo"  
(I know, I'd cut off my nose to spite my face)

As part of a volunteer stint at a camp, one night, I cut gallons and gallons of
vanilla ice cream into single-portion chunks. I was up to my elbows in ice
cream; it was INCREDIBLY offputting. I was unable to eat vanilla ice cream for
a good year after that...and yes, I'd liked the stuff just fine before that
point.

When I was just out of school, I worked at an ice cream store/coffee shop.
I have never been thinner! You get so totally sick of the food you cook,
serve and clean up you stop eating!  Not to mention the fact it was a very
active job.

I work in a gas station and we don't really carry anything but processed
junk. Unfortunately, processed junk has always been my favorite food in the
world. For the first two years I worked at the store, I would consume 3-5
little debbie snack cakes and about 8 cups of pop throughout the course of
the night. Not to mention whatever donuts we had left from the morning. It's
no wonder I was packing on the weight, despite the fact that I put on about
15,000 steps every night. Lately I've just brought things from home and
drank way too much free Diet Pepsi.

I've worked at McDonalds and in a gourmet delicatessan, and I have to tell
you that I never got sick of the food. I wasn't able to convince myself that
I didn't like the stuff we were serving - it all just tastes so good to me
all the time. Even now I'd love to go to McDonalds and rip into a double
quarter pounder with cheese and a supersize fry... Or back to my old work
for the Grilled Chicken Pesto Pizza. Oh yes... Heheheh...

So I'm in the minority. However, I enjoy this new form of torture and intend
to carry it out on myself for some time.

Not totally alone Mike!  My mom was the baker for our school system.  
None of us ever got tired of those peanutbutter cookies <s>

CLA (Congelated Linolic Acid), a compound of milk fat, appears to be
one of the few (maybe only 2?) nutrients that truly help the body
'burn' fat.
