Passover Diet

The Friday before Passover, I was sitting in the Sports Club's cafeteria, eating lunch and listening in to the conversation of the two black guys at the table next to me.

One of them, slightly overweight, was telling the other about his new girlfriend. She's Jewish, and the Jews celebrate this holiday called Passover where they don't eat any bread. He was thinking of celebrating it with her. He figures that white bread is the real reason he's gaining weight. If he can do without white bread for seven days, and then maybe just eat it in moderation, he's sure he can lose weight...

Passover hasn't had that effect on me. Maybe it's because I'm suffering from the effects of a double whammy - eating both Matzo and bread...
