Rest Stop - Rice Cakes

Rice Cakes.  A rice cake may be any kind of food item made from rice that has been shaped, condensed, or otherwise combined into a single object.  And, yes I know everybody says they taste like Styrofoam but they are not bad. I know this might be a crazy thing to write a blog post about but they have become a part of my eating lately.  I checked with Dr. Scott and he didn't see a problem with them but while reading one of the health blogs I follow I found out that rice cakes are high on the glycemic index and thus not very healthy. http://yhoo.it/X51Psb   They always make the list of foods that are making you fat http://bit.ly/iD4rxh  and   http://bit.ly/Lo692B    And yet I am also reading that even though they are high on the index they are good to eat before a work out and maybe a perfect snack  http://bit.ly/OJw31h   I haven't quite decided which story is the truth and even though they are high on the glycemic index I will continue to eat them for now.  I usually add a little almond butter to mine.  Vick can't believe I eat them and enjoy them.  I haven't been able to get her to try them yet.  I will let you decide for yourself.
