Three Foods To Skip

1) Soda & fruit juices
2) Breakfast cereal (including instant oatmeal)
3) Supermarket bread

It is my humble opinion that these three foods are the contemporary health equivalent of cigarettes.

Would eliminating them solve 80% of the juvenile obesity problem? Probably. These are staples of children's diets. Getting kids off the insulin roller coaster would have knock-on effects through the rest of their day.

Of course, they need to be replaced with real food. Frozen waffles, frozen pizza, fat-free yogurt, granola bars and chocolate skim-milk are largely the same sugar sold in a different packaging.
