    For all of you, who like me, love your dips at the holidays don't let this grinchy dip disaster get your panties in a twist there are healthier solutions. This article should have mentioned some but since they didn't here is our savior....

    This sight eat better America lists healthy alternatives to our favorites that this list says are fattening and evil. It has Skinny Crab dip, Fresh Tomato Salsa, Almost Guacamole, and my personal favorite "Healthified" Spinach dip. So don't let the dip who wrote this article get you down, instead look up these delicious and healthy alternatives and party on this holiday season.

    Okay...this tanks. "Don't eat any of these..." but as Bizzylady mentioned (Grinch indeed!!!)...they don't give any helpful suggestions. Thanks for giving us all a good scare and stealing the fun of junking out on the holidays...I hope they didn't actually pay anyone for this article...phoey!

    This isn't really very helpful because they don't say what kind of dips are OK. If all dips are bad they should just say: don't eat dip. I would have appreciated a list of the healthiest dips and recipes for them. This article is negative and unhelpful. Who wrote it, the Grinch?

    Things are tough enough without having to worry about calories during the holidays. Please stop spoiling what we are still able to enjoy. Who knows when abundant food will no longer be taken for granted? Of course, if that time comes, then it will suddenly be highly desirable to be fat., since it will be a state hard for most people to achieve.
