Foods I can no longer eat: Orange juice, grapefruit juice, corn syrup. The first two give me heartburn, and the third makes me feel crappy AND gives me heartburn. Does anyone know of a sugar-sweetened ginger ale?

Foods I find myself eating more than I used to: Cheese, dairy products. Especially, and this is the big turnaround, low-fat dairy products. Rich cheeses are nice, but I prefer things I can eat in slightly larger quantities, like low-fat yogurt or cottage cheese or even string cheese.

Foods I now adore: bananas, Fuji apples. Oh my god, Fuji apples. Every so often, I hear someone say, "wow! I'm not an apple person, but those Fujis sure are good!" and I'm like, "yeah, whatever. Get over it. It's still a goddamn apple". I mean, I like Granny Smiths when dilletante is willing to patiently slice them up thin for me, and I like baking apples, but I've never been big on just tossing one in my bag and going. That's not a snack, it's an ingredient. But Fuji, oh, bless you Fuji, I'm sorry I doubted you for so long.

I can't recall the brand, but there's a whole line of sodas sweetened with white grape juice, and they had a ginger ale. Whole Foods probably carries them.
