"Cretians", too funny!! LOL!
I think they are called Cretes or Cretans, but not Croutons!!
So even the Cretans (whatever), are gaining weight??? This is very intresting!
Best of luck on your diet.
I am also on a diet, but I am realising that I need a buddy to diet with. Someone I can tell them what I eat during the day! Someone that will make me feel shame if I eat chippies or other rubbish! LOL!
