Science Is A Greasy, Slippery Slope

(I’m griping about dieting – again – to a friend.)

Me: “There needs to be deep-fried diet stuff. Delicious, deep-fried stuff that also helps you lose weight. I should invent that. Like, deep-fried celery.”

Friend: “That’s actually not a bad idea. Is there any way to replicate the deep-fried texture and taste without the grease and trans fat?”

Me: “I don’t know, but I am fully prepared to taste test everything against a bacon cheeseburger control variable. For science.”
