I extrapolate WINK, I SET.  (Oh sorry, I think I extricated instead of extrapolated. :-[)

Sorry, my mistake. I mean "extinguish".

QuoteHis premise: That in weight loss, pure calorie counting is what matters most -- not the nutritional value of the food.
Science!
Now tell that to the thousands of "nutritionists" who use idiotic, made up distinctions like "natural"/"chemical" or "healthy food"/"bad food".

Surely a nutritionist would be involved in more than just whether a food would help you lose weight?
At least he was eating vegetables and vitamin supplements.

Personally, I never cared much for Twinkies. But as a child, I LOVED their chocolate coated cousins, the Chocodiles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocodile).

I couldn't read the rest of the Chocodile article, is it me or is this sentence wrong? "Chocodiles /ˈtÊÆ'É’kɵdaɪlz/ was a confection created by the Hostess Brands company."

Should it not be were? Please advise.

My opinion is that was is correct, here. Chocodiles is a collective noun representing a single type of confection created by the Hostess Brands company. In context, you wouldn't say "a confection were created by the Hostess Brands company." I tend to be wrong on this type of stuff a lot, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Chocodiles sound tasty- a distant relative is available in Germany:
