Why Is Fast Food Bad

Kate Langenburg /A&E Groove Kids love Happy Meals. Not only are they getting the delicious, fatty, indulgent food they’ve been begging Mom for over the past two hours, but they also get a cool toy! The best part is that there’s usually a toy for girls and a toy for boys so no one gets left out. All of that is about to change in Santa Clara, California. For years the debate has been brewing about fast food and today’s children. It has been noted that childhood obesity is on the rise, and...Read Full Story

Lunches marketed as “healthy” are not always good for you.  It’s amazing how the food industry can take leafy green salads, soups, and  grilled chicken breasts, and turn them into fat/sodium/sugar laden killers.  Is your “healthy lunch” on our list of imposters? 1.  Frozen Low-Calorie Entrees These may indeed be low-calorie and cheap (under $3), but they are high in sodium, heavily processed and not healthy .   Lean Cuisine One Dish Favorites Stuffed Cabbage has 200 calories and 6...Read Full Story

If I only had 6 months left to live, I’d be eating a McGriddle every morning until I kicked the bucket. The draw back, of course, would be that I’d have to get up before 11 a.m. (why doesn’t McDonald’s have all-day breakfast?), but I’m learning that it’s a lot easier to get up before noon if you go to bed before 2 a.m. The wife doesn’t let me stay up late anymore. Anyway, the point I’m trying to make is that the McGriddle breakfast sandwich from McDonald’s is amazing, and the reason I don’t...Read Full Story
