She’s my [beefy] cherry pie…

So, husband and I had our splurge night tonight. We ended up running to the grocery store to get something sweet, and the deal is that we can eat whatever we want…

So, I picked up one of those hostess cherry pies, you know, the little pocket pie thing… I used to eat them FOR BREAKFAST sometimes in college.

Well, I opened the package and took a bite… no big deal…

Then hubs said, “woa… have you looked at how many calories are in this thing”

to which I replied, “well, I know it is a lot, but that is what splurge night is about!”

I couldn’t resist the urge to check so, I looked… 480 calories for the pie. Of course, since I was already looking at the back, I started skimming the ingredients list… big mistake…

The word “beef” crossed my vision. WTF?! Turns out these pies can be made with all sorts of shortening including soybean or even “beef fat”

Surprisingly enough, I somehow convinced myself that I deserved another bite… I started chewing, and my teeth hit something hard… You know how that sometimes happens with sausage or hotdogs? It was… un real.

I looked at him and said… “I can’t eat this… I’m strong enough NOT to eat this.” and chucked it.

I can’t imagine eating one ever again….

Have any of you ever had any food freakout moments?
