This week a “lifestyle” site on the MSN network offered a very scary click-bait article screamed out the following: “50 Foods You Should Stop Eating Right Now”. Not later, or when you get around to it, but right NOW.
Curious, we plunged into this swamp of warning and found the stuff we must stop eating now were (take a deep breath): Soft drinks, white bread toast, potato chips, sugar, canned soup, cereal bars, processed meat, doughnuts, artificial sweeteners, fruit juices, bacon, hotdogs, cupcakes, icing on cupcakes, fries, lollies, canned vegetables, popcorn in paper bags, potatoes, frozen pizzas, many breakfast cereals, fruit flavoured drinks, pre-prepared frozen meals, milk, energy drinks, corn syrup, cordials, hydrogenated oils, monosodium glutamates, some jams, smoothies, wine, whipped “cream” in cans, red meat, iced tea or coffee, ham, chocolate bars, barbecued meat, alcohol, many cheeses, white rice, tomato sauce, sausages, rice cakes, preserved pickles, farmed fish, instant soup, commercial cake mixes, crackers, oyster sauce.
We also found a warning against drinking water in urban areas. As they say, life is fatal and none of us is getting out of this alive.
