DIET RULES

• If you eat something when no one is looking, it
  has no calories
• If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, the
  calories in the candy bar are cancelled out by
  the diet soda
• When you eat with someone, calories dont count
  if you dont eat more than they do
• If you eat food over the kitchen sink, it doesnt
  count
• If you fatten up everyone else around you, you
  look thinner

More rules

• Movie related foods (ie. buttered popcorn, milk
  duds, junior mints, etc.) do not have additional
  calories-- they are part of the entire
  entertainment package and not part of ones
  personal fuel
• Cookie pieces contain no calories. The process
  of breaking causes calorie leakage
• Things licked off knives and spoons when
  preparing other foods have no calories (ie.
  peanut butter licked off the knife, ice cream
  licked off the spoon when making a sundae)
