I saw a report today that said that 30% of all the calories eaten by Americans come from junk food!  That's really scary.

Not a surprise, but still scary!

What's scary is that we seem to be just a few years behind the americans on things like this.

There are so many things that are worrying in that - the chemicals in junk food, how calorie dense they are, and of course the nutrients you're not getting if you replace fresh food with junk.

When i stayed with my family over there, they ate out every night!  I gained 3 kilos in a week!

What's scary about it is that most people do actually know how bad this stuff is, but they choose to ignore it.

I find it's not so much junk food that tempts me, more basic stuff like toast and cups of tea.

I don't know if it's the same article, but sometihng I read said that the number on source of calories for Americans is canned drinks!  I can't even remember the last time I had one...
