On the advice that maybe 'cheese crisps' would be a viable snack substitute. I searched to see what HEB, my local store of choice, had on offer. As with most 'health' foods, prices were huge in comparison to weight of product offered. The best compromise I could find was this in-store brand with almost 3 dollars for less than 2 ounces of product. The next best was 6 dollars for 3 ounces of product. And so this morning I began the great experiment.
It was somewhat less than a taste sensation, though I would not go so far as to say it was absolutely vile. I mean they could be choked down after a lot of chewing and softening. They are tiny tough discs. I cannot imagine anyone choosing it for anything other than necessity. It does give your mouth something to do, so to some degree it satisfies an oral fixation, and the taste does nothing to lure you to another bite if not absolutely killing your appetite.
So the 'cheese crisp' experiment has so far had disappointing results. But it's early days yet. Perhaps after I have made my way through the bag I will have developed some sort of tolerance. Perhaps a more expensive brand will prove more appealing. But I'd feel rotten about sending good money after bad in a vain endeavor. But hey, you have to try something.
I know that this is not riveting content, but I got to talk through this stuff somewhere. Hopefully I can get back to more creative efforts soon.
