Although, I'm not a fan of most pie in general.2 -

Old Me just had a brief flashback to polishing off a whole box of super fresh Little Debbite Oatmeal Pies. When they are fresh like that, they are manna from heaven.4

The foods that I eat when I'm feeling anxiety and doubt.2

Dairy, refined grains (pasta, sweets)
I am a bit surprised at the list of healthy foods some think aren't worth the calories. You NEED fruits, nuts, and veggies, people.1 -

There are many foods that allow us to get adequate nutrition. Finding some nutrient dense foods not worth the calories, doesn't mean we're not getting adequate nutrition 😉
I'm sure I'm getting adequate nutrition even without eating nuts.

Not allergic, but I've gotten by this long without eating large amounts of them so I can say I don't NEED them either. You just get so few for the calorie cost. I'm a volume eater so I'd just prefer more bang for my buck eating something else.3 -

Lots of healthy foods are NOT worth the calories, not to mention can be deadly to some.
Also, define healthy to you.
right, for the same amount of vitamins I would rather have X veggie over X fruit, etc.4 -

Those but ACTUAL Little Debbies.
I've had the Mrs Freshley's tho. It definitely tastes like a knock off as does most of their hostess type snack cakes. I love their donut sticks tho!
This isn't them. It just looked....magical.
