Ever Heard of ZERO Calorie Noodles?

They're zero calorie because they're essentially soluble fiber. They're made with konjac root. They smell the way they do because the raw konjac root flour has a fishy smell.

Why I never agree with the practice of stuffing more of a low calorie substitiute into your face so you can gorge on quantity of food, I wouldn't dismiss it as a non-food because it's not a part of your culture. It's been around for a while.

I remember eating it at a Japanese friend's house in school. They ate it not because it was low calorie, but because they enjoyed it. The low cal/low carb thing is a side 'benefit' for those who put themselves on restricted diets.

That isn't the reason I'm saying it isn't a food. My reason is based entirely on the definition of the word "food".

Point taken and understood. Argument to that point retracted It was the post dismissing it as fake and labaratory food that I was intending to aim this at.

I like to put real food into my mouth, not fake laboratory stuff.

Yep! If I want a noodle, I will have a noodle. With butter. And then run 5 miles! LOL!
