I have no guilt about anything food-wise. I eat or drink whatever I want. My mother instilled lots of guilt into me about food & eating, but something made me change when I was 26. When I was 26 my father died of a massive heart attack. At 60 years old he got up every morning of his life and did 100 push-ups & 100 sit-ups. He watched everything he ate. At 60 he could still fit into his WW-2 pilot's uniform. He did not smoke or drink. At 60 years old he was in better physical shape than I have ever been in my whole life, and at 60 years old he dropped dead of a heart attack while taking a walk. This guy's habits would have had my doctor doing cartwheels. His family had a penchant for long, long lives. And then after following all "the rules" he just dropped over dead.
When that happened it changed the way I think about food and how I eat. This doesn't mean I go home at night and suck on a stick of butter, but if I want it, I eat it. Playing by the rules didn't do much for my dad.
As far as how could I not eat a Twinkie? Don't know. Just never had one. I also don't eat candy. Can't stand it. Between the two it probably classifies me as a "commie". LOL.
