The topic of business specials tends to trouble the weight-watchers among us. On the one hand – the wide variety of offers in the marketplace invites us to experience and taste as much as we possibly can. On the other hand, too many tasting experiences could result in unwanted fluctuations in weight and in pants that don’t zip up. Yet another way to look at it is that there is simply a limit to the number of times a person can eat a tossed-salad or baked chicken-breast, isn’t there?
