I would not eat it mushy but I might try the freezing balls things. That might be good. I love grapes frozen.

Americans are definitely more fat than any other nation. A recent study published on cnn a few weeks ago said 65% of Americans are either obese or have weight problems!! that's shocking!

Yes you can blame the fast food, fast life and I agree with that to a certain point but I also know that we eat the biggest portions of food than any other country. When we have our overseas employees come visit us for training or what not they're always amazed at how large the portions are. A few times they thought the food in the container was for multiple people.

For most of our lifestyle (like me, sitting in front of a computer 10 to 11 hours a day) I think half a portion of the food they sell is more than enough. I just can't burn enough calories sitting on my butt all day long...sure eating healthy food is important but eating less is just as important.
