Since Mike & Ike's are fruit flavored it should count as a serving of fruit right?  In that case eat them to your heart's content. 

I had someone at church yesterday try to rationalize to me that potato chips are good for you because they are made from potatoes which is a vegetable.

That's right!  While you're at it have them with a bowl of ice cream and cake because you really want to get your dairy and grains in for the day.

You do!  That means you don't have to take any calcium supplements today.  Ice cream is a better source of calcium lol.

What's sad is I remember being pre-op and rationalizing the quality of the foods I ate in this way.  I would say to myself that ice cream was okay as long as I had some fruit with it.  I was also one of those people who would eat a burger and fries with Diet Coke to balance it out.
