Happy Easter, Squiddies!
All of Mouse’s Easter candies have fueled my Easter highs over the years… dang those Cadbury eggs!

Eat all you want while you can, ’cause when you get older they won’t let you.
I’m the only one in the family who like Peeps, so I get all of them in my basket. And I’m 58 YO.
The Halloween ones just don’t taste the same. And tomorrow they’ll all be gone from the store
Native American predisposition for lactose intolerance. I have the world’s sadist kids on Halloween and Easter. I tried telling them about the Oyster Bunny, who brings a bucket of bivalves on Oyster morning, but it didn’t fly.
You’re never too old to receive a gift from family.
I admit that the Peeps were never really a favorite of mine (but Judy loves them!) … but they were ALWAYS in my Easter basket. In my case, they’d be the last thing I’d eat after all the rest of the “good stuff” was eaten. Today, if there’s a chocolate covered Peep, I’d probably eat it … but only if it were dark chocolate.
Sad about the lactose intolerance thing, UB. It makes sense though. Peeps is just pure sugar, so THEY would be okay, right?
My mom still sends me holiday cards… usually with Snoopy or the Peanuts gang… I love it! There’s usually something else tucked in the card, as well… I love that, too!
Unfortunately we also don’t metabolize sugar well. Stomach upset. Unsteadiness. Headache. We came out of the hunter-gatherer state too quickly. We’re all very healthy from a lack of junk in our diet, but unsatisfied.
I can’t stop my relatives from putting the, er, something else, in the cards, too. Even though for the last time I had to go to the bank and get the something else.
UB… For years I touted the truth-ness of the book, “Eating Right for Your Type.” It was a book that was published by a doctor who did studies on blood type and how certain foods were better for people with certain blood types… Type O people were red meat people and did better when they included it in their diet. Type A were fish and veggie people… (me)… and I don’t remember the Type B people. Anyhow, there were studies done as to where the blood types came from and what part of the world they lived in… and what diets those people ate back when people didn’t move around so much. I still see the truth in the book… but I don’t adhere so strictly to it much anymore.
RN… Yah… it’s nice. Little envelopes of joy.
The hazard of eating like your ancestors is that most people’s ancestors had local diets that were, to put it simply, terrible. Balance was not a concept most people of old understood. Plus most modern people are much, much more hybridized than they think they are, so to eat like your ancestors would require about eleven meals a day…… tasty yes! Good for you? Probably not so much……
My ancestors were hunter-gatherers until a little over a hundred years ago. Sugars, dairy and alcohol had not been a part of their diet for thousands of years (if ever) so our metabolisms had not developed the mechanisms to deal with those things.
