My kids eat "The Worst Foods in America"


Oh great. Two of my kids' favorite foods made it on to the list of the "Worst Foods in America."

In his book, "Eat This, Not That: The No-Diet Weight Loss Solution," Men's Health editor David Zinczenko lists 20 of the worst foods in different categories.

My kids drink the "Worst Drink," Jamba Juice Chocolate Moo’d Power Smoothie (166 grams of sugar) and eat the "Worst Kids' Meal," Macaroni Grill's Double Macaroni 'n' Cheese, with 62 grams of fat.

Fortunately they only eat these monsters a few times a year. But for some reason, I didn't see these foods as the poisons I guess they are.

Take a look at some of the others. Which of these do your kids devour in blissful ignorance?
