Ore Ida's own Country Style Dinner Fries and Home Style Potato Wedges contain only 2 grams of fat per serving. I recommend buying one of them and spicing them up w ith a sprinkling of Tabasco sauce, cayenne (ground red) pepper, or some 100 percent ground chili such as Chile Today Hot Tamale's. Carolyn: If there were any law for food products, Ore Ida would be violating it with these new Hot Tots!

The best thing that can be said about Twizzlers is that they're low in fat, especially when compared to chocolate candy. If you insist on snacking on candy instead of fruit, a Twizzler is better than the Hershey Bar. Just be sure to brush your teeth after you have some.

One thing I do know and can say without Butterball took lean turkey and chicken breasts, pumped them with water and added binders to hold it all together. The process is similar to that used to make boiled ham. That could be why these slices are almost as salty as ham. (There are 400 milligrams of sodium per six serving, or 18 percent of the Daily Reference Value. That's pretty salty.) . If sodium's not a concern, you might try these new luncheon meats.

The honey company is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. Nephi Miller started it in 1894 when he traded five bags of oats for seven colonies of honeybees.

During a trip to California, Miller purchased 300 colonies of with them through the next spring. When those bees were shipped by railroad car to Utah, there were approximately 600 colonies. That doubled Miller's holding to 1,200 colonies. In the winter of 1909, the beekeeper moved his entire stock to Colton, Calif., a place that was near both the railroad and long stretches of orange groves. Miller left his family at home during this first w inter in California, but soon the entire clan was moving between the two states.
