Kids Go For Fat-Free Pudding

By Rick Bonino boninobeer@comcast.net

How do you really separate the men from the boys, and the women from the girls?

The proof is in the pudding - Jell-O fat-free pudding snacks, that is. We served the rocky road and chocolate versions at a special back-to-school session of The Spokesman-Review’s reader food panel that included several youngsters. The adults were none too impressed, but the kids gobbled it up, particularly the younger ones.

Ah, the sweet days of youth.
