10 Foods You Should Never Eat
Nutrition Action has a list of 10 foods that you should never eat. Sound serious. Yes. The site also mentions the brand names (which really assume me), but some of their advices can generalize into similar products. For example, the Burger King french fries:
Burger King makes some of the worst french fries you can buy at a fast–food restaurant. Thanks to the salty coating that allows more oil to be absorbed, a King Size order of their fries packs 590 calories and 30 grams of fat — 12 of them artery–clogging. That’s worse than McDonald’s Super Size Fries — and more than half the “bad” fat you should get in an entire day.

I am not impressed at all. Take for example: “a serving of this soup looks like one–and–a–half cups of whole milk to your arteries.” If that is really so bad, shouldn’t milk and (especially) cheese be first on the list of foods you should never eat?
I am surprised they do not mention trans-fat at all.
I think it is not very useful to single out 10 unhealthy foods. It is much more important to focus on overall healthy eating.

Unrelated, but would it be possible to add a Favicon ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon ) to the site?

The Center for Science in the Public Interest people are basically food police of the worst kind. Just look at the title of this list.
While none of the list items are health foods, a person on a healthy diet could get away with eating any of this food once a week with no worries. Once a week is a far cry from “never.”
And anyone who spent even a few minutes reading up on Olean/olestra would realize CSPI is just fear-mongering on this issue.

I agree — what a random list of bizarre foods, all presented, notably, as brand names. A waste of time.

OK. So this guy *really* thinks we shouldn’t eat saturated fat[*], and he may be right, but aren’t there any other bad foods? No? Only saturated fat? Seems little one-dimensional if you ask me.
[1] which is itself under question, it may be that the studies that have shown saturated fat to be bad have failed to distinguish between saturated and transfat.

This list is mainly processed food. Try cooking from scratch!
