Funk Babblings

I finally finished the last of the bag of "low-carb" bagels I accidentally bought. What is this insanity? "Low-carb" bagels? I want carbohydrates in my bagels! This takes the whole low-carb nonsense to a new low. Of course they were the worst-tasting bagels I've ever had, which is what made me notice the "low-carb" tag on the bag in the first place. That'll teach me to look closer when I'm at the store. Normally that brand (Lender's) is the best that can be found in an Ohio supermarket, and it didn't look like there were any other variants (other than the usual flavors) when I chose these. (It's even harder to find good bagels in Canton than it is in Columbus.)

Someone please let me know when I can go to the store and find real food again. It's bad enough that finding veg-friendly food is difficult without making everything from scratch, and I have to sort past the vegetable soup made with beef broth and the beans&rice made with chicken; I can forgive that, for I accept my minority status as a vegetarian. But now I have to sort past all the reduced-carb "food" too?

Did I mention that the low-carb fad is nonsense?
