Not exactly breaking news...but people lie about food.  A lot.  And you know who I blame?  SOCIETY.  Let us be chubby and happy.

According to a new survey sponsored by Timex, the average woman tells 474 lies about food and drink EVERY YEAR.  That's an average of 1.3 lies per day and about 9 per week.

CHOCOLATE is the food women are most likely to lie about, followed by potato chips, cake, candy, cheese, bread and burgers.

The survey also compiled a list of the top 20 lies that women tell about food.  Here they are, from the most common to the least common:

1. "It was only a small portion."

2. "I had a big lunch because I won't eat much after this."

3. "I only treat myself once in a while."

4. " I always eat the right number of servings of fruits and vegetables in a day."

5. "I didn't touch any of the cookies."

6. "I only had one glass of wine."

7. "I didn't eat the last one."

8. "I won't eat again today after this."

9. "I was too busy to have lunch."

10. "I figured I had to eat them now or they'd go bad."

11. "I had a healthy salad."

12. "I never eat fast food."

13. "Red wine is good for you."

14. "I only added a little sugar."

15. "I limit my carb intake."

16. "I'm testing the dinner."

17. "I only had a drink because we were toasting a special occasion."

18. "I only drink diet soda."

19. "I just finished off the kids' leftovers."

20. "I don't drink coffee or tea after 5:00 P.M."



Yup, I've used a few of those more than once.
