After my husband
asked me to help him shed some unwanted pounds, I stopped serving fattening
TV snacks and substituted crisp celery.
While he was unenthusiastically munching on a stalk one night, a commercial
caught his attention. As he watched longingly, a woman spread gooey chocolate
frosting over a freshly baked cake.
When it was over, my husband turned to me. "Did you ever notice,"
he asked, "that they never advertise celery on TV?"
