Unhealthy Eating


healthylunches.co
The Standard American Diet or SAD is heavy on red meat, pork, foods made from dairy or cow's milk, processed foods laced with dangerous chemical preservatives, colorings, vitamins and flavor enhancers. The Standard American Diet is also made up of fried foods, foods cooked with high heat and microwaves, foods made with white refined sugar and flour or more and more today foods that contain high fructose corn syrup. This identifies only a few of the problems with the SAD diet. It also includes all kinds of fruit and vegetable juices whose nutritional value is destroyed by pasteurization...treatment with high heat that destroys all enzymes and most nutrients. Not to mention how many of these juices contain large amounts of added sugar, high fructose corn syrup or dangerous artificial chemical sweeteners and preservatives. Oh, yeah, and let's not forget that the Standard American Diet contains insufficient quantity and variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.
