wilheim is a bit zealous at times. Just his nature. Some of the things that are left in the main forum astound me and some of the things that are moved here astound me. However, he means well. I do think he thought that maybe your post was a 'sham' post or you were being just outright silly on purpose whether you meant it that way or not. But, I won't speak for wilheim. I'm just guessing that from his "Get Serious" line.
By the way, have any of you shaken the fizz out of a diet pop before you drank it? Not all the fizz, mind you, just some of the fizz... LOL.... that was one I had moved by wilheim several weeks ago. The fizz thread didn't last a minute up there but the 'what are you having for dinner?' is a perrenial favorite. I'm just not a good 'topic' picker I guess. My Dad was a topic picker and my grandfather before him was a topic picker but then the machines pretty much ended the need for manual topic pickers. Anywhoooo..... tulsa
By the way, no calories means just that, but fat free usually means they've taken out the fat, of course, but to make the product at all tasty they have filled it with large amounts of calories in the form of carbohydrates. You do know that if something is calorie free then it is fat free too. But not the other way around.

Thanks Tulsa... Someone said that only coffee has 0 calories. But Walmart sells a very refreshing brand of drinks called "Clear American" They are advertised a s Calorie Free and Sodium Free and taste very good.
I didn't know that fat free it self was just a selling gimmick...until it was explained here.

Water is just about the ONLY thing that truly has 0 calories.
Your best bet is to check the caloric value of everything since FAT FREE is very misleading. It can have no fat and have tons of sugar or carbs which is even worse. While we need fat for energy sugar is just stored.
