So... by the title, this little post is about the joyous, yummy, yet equally bad for you substance... HFCS :(. This little thing is causing me so many instances of sadness as I go to the Cannon wanting some ketchup with my fries, or I want some juice, or even some bread. It is really quite pitiful that so many foods are layered with this, but anyways to the point. I am doing this for extra credit, I am going 5 days without eating anything with HFCS, easier said than done. It will be a challenge but... hello 7 points extra credit! I think definite yes :). So at the end of this school week, I will report back on what I learned, and maybe even some of the surprise foods that have HFCS hidden in them.
I also by the way had to find out my BMI and go on myplate.gov, which shows you how many calories/how many servings of what you should eat. It's pretty handy. I suggest everyone use it because if you didn't know... fun fact... 67% of americans are either overweight or obese and since the 1980's the number has been consistent, or increasing (not one year with decreasing numbers). Stay healthy my friends :)
Naughty ketchup! :(
