[...] Or as my sister jokes, “if I eat this whole wheat bread, will you SHUT UP about whole grains for a minute?” I’ll admit it–eating good carbs is a priority for me. For me, good carbs means getting almost all of my carbs from fruits, vegetables, and whole grain products. I eat whole wheat bread and whole wheat English muffins. I compromised on pasta–I would probably eat whole wheat pasta all the time, but I’m not the only person that eats around here. Steve doesn’t care for the stuff. I’ll admit, it is pretty nutty tasting and can overpower some dishes. We eat the Barilla Plus stuff. For a side dish with my lunch, I love to cook up some bulgur and mix in a little bit of butter and curry powder. Just like couscous but with fiber! I think quinoa is awesome. I’ve even thought of trying millet. I think 100% Whole Grain Chips Ahoy taste good, unlike some people. [...]

But Chica,
The drama is the most fun part! If we didn’t have drama, we wouldn’t have Kirstie Alley, or Brittney and Kevin, what fun would life be then?

People you DON’T have to buy or eat the cookies. The regular Chips Ahoy are still out there for you to consume. I never understood how so many people can complain about something they don’t even have to try. Why be so negative in life or cause unneccessary drama? Buy the old cookies, leave the new ones for those of us who want a little extra whole grain in our diet. Everyone will be happy.

KENT – Yes, leave them on the shelf, so that when Nicole Richie finally snaps and goes on an eating binge, there will be plenty of food for her.

nat – Actually, Pringles has a respectable amount of fiber, although not enough to make me run to the bathroom. That job is taken by Fat Free Pringles.

I don’t want friggin’ fiber in my junk food, I want junk. Next thing, they’ll put fiber in potato chips and ice cream and we’ll be running to the bathroom like we ate a roll of sugar-free Life Savers.

In case I have to feed…Nicole Richie. I enjoyed that line so much I read it twice then laughed outloud. Then the whole grain member comment sent me into hysterics. By the way I’ll be leaving these cookies on the shelf at the market.

Genny From the Burbs – I always get cut off in traffic. I’m gonna need a whole lot of Chips Ahoy!…Or a bigger middle finger.

Bryan – Mmm…Chocolate chip bread would make great chocolate chip french toast. :-)

Karen – Some Snackwell stuff aren’t bad, but I just can’t think of which ones they were.

missy – If Oreos go whole grain, a little piece of me will die.

Mellie Helen – The fat content of the 100% whole grain is almost the same as regular Chips Ahoy!, except the regular stuff has some of the evil trans fat.

Sasha_Kitty – I don’t want to totally get rid of whole grains, because they help me poop better. :-)

cybele – I now eat carrots as a snack, instead of Pringles. I miss Pringles.

wyn – I think kids today are deprived. We all got to eat the 100% unhealthy versions of stuff, but today’s kids seem to be getting the opposite. Oh, if they only knew what they were missing.

klew – Growing up I ate a lot of white bread and thought it was good stuff, but when I became an adult, I switched to wheat. I picked up some white bread earlier this year and it was about a decade since I had white bread. I really didn’t like it. It was “boring as white bread.”

Toni – Oh, that Chewbacca Defense. Works every time!

Mir – Impulsive Buy reader Damon would feed them to his dogs.

Chuck – Yes, give each of them a pack and then RUN AWAY!!!

Amy in GA – Yes, I agree, just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should. It’s like Britney and Kevin. Just because you can get pregnant, doesn’t mean you should. And I’m definitely not calling Britney a MILF.

Lee – But are you washing it down with cold light beer. I think everything balances out that way.

Pel – There’s 100% Whole Grain Wheat Thins, but it would be funny if there were actually 100% Whole Grain Triscuit, which I think is already 100% whole grain.

caitlin – We don’t need to outlaw math, but I am boycotting it, because it makes me have to use a part of my brain that I don’t want to use.

Hm, I wonder whether, in order to make up for the extra heaviness of whole grain, they had to add in extra butter (or whatever shortening-like-material they employ) so the cookies wouldn’t end up too dry. In which case, the fat content would be higher than regular Chips Ahoy! cookies, and I don’t know that these whole grain cookies would really be any better for you after all. The devil is in the details…
