There\u2019s always someone with carts that bulge with every conceivable kind of diet food. Flats of turkey bacon prop listlessly against the fat free half &#038; half and Olestra cookies. At first glance, this is clearly someone who is completely health conscious, diet minded, and watching what they eat.<\/p>\n<p>But peek beneath the basket to the lower rack \u2013 where you normally find dog food, kitty litter, and other toxic chemicals \u2013 and you will see the case of Pepsi or Mountain Dew. Diet foods and junk foods in the same cart might suggest mental illness, a slippage into delusional optimism, or some other form of brain rot.<\/p>\n<p><img data-opt-id=1712070155  fetchpriority=\"high\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"WIDTH: 286px; HEIGHT: 193px\" height=\"164\" src=\"https:\/\/mlcmmqmgggev.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fatfallacy.com\/hohoanim.gif?resize=294%2C164\" width=\"294\" align=\"left\" \/>However, unbeknownst to the rest of us, these folks are actually brilliant physicists, only disguised as profoundly confused shoppers, so as not to attract any attention. They throw you off their trail with very characteristic behaviors, like chasing a candy bar with a Diet Coke.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, we can now release the fact that these scientists are members of the little know branch of their field known as Gastro-Physics, and they are actually testing a high-level theory regarding matter and anti-matter. Just as matter can be annihilated by anti-matter, they will show how calories can be eliminated, erased, eradicated, exterminated, and just forgotten about altogether if you consume them within their Universal opposite.<\/p>\n<p>Oreos and low fat milk cancel perfectly, and M&amp;Ms are vaporized into the next astral plane when thrown into a trail mix bag with a few Spanish peanuts.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry for the dive into the rigors of this phenomenon, but the calorie cancellation must happen within a certain time frame, if you are serious about blipping away that ingot of taffy you just ate.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like your mother explained, logically, that swimming after you eat a baloney and cheese sandwich at the beach will make you drop like a rock to the bottom of the ocean, unless you wait the required 30 minutes or so.<\/p>\n<p>In just the same way, Gastro-physicists indicate that full cancellation can only take effect if the diet product smashes into the junk food within 7.45 minutes. These guys are brilliant.<\/p>\n<p>So the next time you see cleverly disguised Gastro-Physicists conducting their experiments in your grocery store, don\u2019t sneer. They\u2019re not as daft as they seem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;People watch,&#8221; next time you\u2019re in the grocery line.
