I love grits, but they're hard to come by (properly) out here. Granted, I got spoiled when I lived in NC.

if you don't know what sugars, proteins, iron, carbs or fats are, then you need to read a book.

don't you read nutrtion labels at all?

No, where would i go about finding these things you speak of.


In all seriousness, no I don't read labels. I'm not really sure what the point is, it's all garbage.
