The Seven Worst Winter Drinks

I always knew my morning hot cocoa wasn't good for me but the stark facts now make me want to give it up. The only problem is that it's hard to give up what you enjoy because there are a bunch of us that have already had to give up on so much.

Uh, some numbers are off here on both of the Starbucks drinks that Ms. Peng mentions. A gram of fat contains 9 calories. Ms. Peng says that the pumpkin spice latte has 380 calories, but then she says it has 120 grams of fat (that would be 1080 calories!!). Then when she talks about lattes, she says that the Cosi one has 191 calories and 3 grams of fat, and that the Starbucks one has 250 calories and yet she says it has 35 grams of fat! Ms. Peng, you need to correct your numbers here.

A holiday party is not the time to diet--day-to-day is. Fat is built up over time, not at a single party.

Though I guess if you're attending five parties you should still consider refraining.
