| #5339 |  | Now that you've read Fortune's diet truths, you'll be prepared the next time some housewife or boutique-owner-turned-diet-expert appears on TV
 to plug her latest book.  And, if you still feel a twinge of guilt for
 eating coffee cake while listening to her exhortations, ask yourself
 the following questions:
 
 (1) Do I dare trust a person who actually considers alfalfa sprouts a
 food?
 (2) Was the author's sole motive in writing this book to get rich
 exploiting the forlorn hopes of chubby people like me?
 (3) Would a longer life be worthwhile if it had to be lived as
 prescribed ... without French-fried onion rings, pizza with
 double cheese, or the occasional Mai-Tai?  (Remember, living
 right doesn't really make you live longer, it just *seems* like
 longer.)
 
 That, and another piece of coffee cake, should do the trick.

| #5347 |  | Remember, DESSERT is spelled with two `s's while DESERT is spelled with one, because EVERYONE wants two desserts, but NO ONE wants two deserts.
