***ATTENTION TEXT-ONLY HG SUBSCRIBERS (this means YOU!): Since only 
<br>a tiny fraction of our audience receives our emails in text-only form, and the 
<br>emails look so much better designed in HTML, we have decided to stop 
<br>sending out the text-only versions of Hungry Girl newsletters. This change 
<br>will happen in the very near future. Keep an eye out for the HTML versions in 
<br>your inbox... coming soon!***

<br>Hungry Girl Today: 8.03.09 
<br>
<br>
<br>Spotted on Shelves...
<br>
<br>Bare Fruit Snacks - Here we have 100% organic, no-sugar-added, bake-
<br>dried deliciousness! These come in a bunch of varieties, and some are 
<br>available in single-serving bags. The Cinnamon Apple Chips may be the most 
<br>delicious dried apples EVER. Each small-ish serving of these fruit snacks has 
<br>only 29 - 64 calories, 0 - 1g fat, 8 - 16g carbs, 1 - 2g fiber, and 0 - 2g 
<br>protein (POINTS&reg; value 0 - 1*). Toss 'em on salads, in yogurt, or over guilt-
<br>free ice cream... or just snack on 'em straight! Look for these at Costco and 
<br>Walmart, or order some online.
<br>
<br>Arnold Select/Oroweat Sandwich Thins in Seedless Rye - The buzz on the 
<br>high-fiber, 100-calorie Sandwich Thins (and even their copycats!) has been 
<br>INCREDIBLE. And it won't stop. We love 'em as much as you all do, so we're 
<br>happy to report there's a new variety on shelves RIGHT NOW -- Seedless 
<br>Rye! We hear each "roll" has 100 calories, 1g fat, 23g carbs, 5g fiber, and 4g 
<br>protein (POINTS&reg; value 1*). Yee-haaa! Check it out, especially if you like 
<br>rye (and hate seeds!).
<br>
<br>Gripz Mighty Tiny Cookies and Crackers Variety Packs - If you like teeny tiny 
<br>snacks stuffed in a little bag and then packed in a box with other little bags 
<br>that are filled with teeny tiny snacks, then THIS is for you. Each 14-count 
<br>pack contains an assortment of individual pouches full of mini Cheez-Its, 
<br>Chips Deluxe Cookies, or Cinnamon Grahams. And each pouch has just 100 -
<br> 120 calories, 3 - 6g fat, 15 - 20g carbs, <1 - 3g fiber, and 1 - 3g protein 
<br>(POINTS&reg; value 2 - 3*). Hooray for large boxes of portion-controlled snacks!
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Bitty Bites...
<br>
<br>I Can't Believe It's Not Made with Partially Hydrogenated Oils!
<br>Interesting news from our food-producing pals over at Unilever. They've 
<br>decided to remove ALL partially hydrogenated oils (a.k.a. artificial trans fats) 
<br>from their "tubbed" buttery spreads by the middle of next year. (Among 
<br>those products are TWO HG faves -- Brummel & Brown and I Can't Believe 
<br>It's Not Butter!) As a result, the spreads will have 0g trans fat per serving. 
<br>The saturated fat content will remain at 2g (or less) per serving. There goes 
<br>Smart Balance's smear campaign. (Get it?! Smear!?!)
<br>
<br>
<br>Is It Soup Yet???
<br>If you enjoy adding water to concentrated canned soup, listen up. Campbell's 
<br>is introducing a line of "light" condensed soup this fall. Each of the five soups 
<br>debuting in September will contain just 70 - 80 calories per serving. We don't 
<br>have the full details on all the varieties just yet, but we know that one will be 
<br>called Vegetable Orzo. And in case you're wondering, these "just add water 
<br>and heat" soups will cost you about 70 cents less per can than their heat 'n 
<br>eat counterparts. P.S. Some of the existing condensed soups have as few as 
<br>60 cals per serving, so don't limit yourself to light... just read labels carefully!
<br>
<br>
<br>Drivers Fed...
<br>Check this out. According to an online auto insurance agency, here are the 
<br>top 10 foods you should avoid while driving... 
<br>
<br>1. Coffee ('cuz it's hot) 
<br>2. Hot soup (like we said, HOT) 
<br>3. Tacos (volatile structures) 
<br>4. Chili dogs (high risk of drips) 
<br>5. Hamburgers (grease = slippery steering wheel) 
<br>6. Ribs and wings (potential finger-licking interference) 
<br>7. Fried chicken (again, grease) 
<br>8. Jelly donuts (the draw of the oozy center is apparently distracting) 
<br>9. Soda (fizz leads to sneezing) 
<br>10. Chocolate (warm hands cause melting; slick steering wheels cause 
<br>swerving) 
<br>
<br>We think you should pretty much avoid eating most of these even when 
<br>you're NOT driving. (Unless they're guilt-free HG versions, of course.) And, 
<br>um, we don't really recommend eating ANYTHING while driving. 
<br>
<br>
<br>"So Sue Me!" 
<br>Now that nutritionals are being made public, restaurants REALLY need to 
<br>watch their backs. Applebee's has been slapped with a class-action lawsuit as 
<br>some of its Weight Watchers dishes were tested and found to have more fat 
<br>and calories than the menus claimed. Scary stuff for consumers and chains, 
<br>considering the fact that the kid whipping up an entree in the kitchen 
<br>probably couldn't give a rat's hat about the three extra tablespoons of oil he 
<br>poured on your tilapia. Be careful, people... it's a greasy world out there.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>The Buzz...
<br>
<br>Do you love Alton Brown HALF as much as we do? PROVE IT! Upload a one-
<br>minute video or a photo that expresses your love of Good Eats, and you 
<br>could win tickets to the taping of the 10th Anniversary Special on August 29th 
<br>in Atlanta, GA. If you win, you'll get to meet Alton, too! Hurry, you've only 
<br>got 'til Friday (8/7) to enter. ***Rumor has it, a Swiss company has 
<br>developed a chocolate substitute that has 90% FEWER calories than regular 
<br>chocolate -- and apparently the stuff won't even melt in your hands. We'll 
<br>believe that when we see it (along with conclusive lab results). ***According 
<br>to new research, within a few short years of tying the knot, married people 
<br>are far more likely than single people to become obese. FYI, the same study 
<br>suggests that individuals who simply move in with their partners (and remain 
<br>unmarried) also pack on pounds. Lesson learned? Cohabitating with a 
<br>significant other makes you hungry... or lazy... or BOTH. ***Research is 
<br>showing that snack ads on television are causing kids to eat more. A recent 
<br>experiment conducted by Yale University found that TV-watching children 
<br>who viewed commercials for snack foods ate 45% more than kids who only 
<br>saw commercials for games and other non-food-related items. Exercise your 
<br>right to TiVo, parents! Then click fast-forward!!! That's all we've got. HG out!
