calci-pops

enlightened (read: simply-doused-in-arrogance) people these days say we humans don't get enough - what's the word?- CALCIUM. i give two reasons for this predicament: 1. dairy products, which are known to provide calcium in abundance, are also equally known for their fat and calorie content. hence, they are generally avoided by those trying to lose weight. (bad idea by the way) 2. spinach, calcium supplements, and other lower-fat sources just don't taste that good! or they're chocolatey but too expensive for the average person. poo. so: take calcium-enriched water and freeze it, add some flavoring sweetened with SPLENDA (calorie-free) or add some natural fruit flavor (adds a few calories, however) and - voila! you have enough calcium on a stick to strengthen even the brittlest bones (and lift the dictionary to see if 'brittlest' is actually a word..)!
