Here's an article from Yahoo that I found interesting and worthy to share:

This article specifically calls out foods you should avoid, why you should avoid them, and an alternative to consider.

Swordfish
Nonorganic Strawberries
Diet Soda
Anything from McDonald's
Canned Tomatoes
Bread
Industrially Produced Hamburger
Corn
White Chocolate
Artificial Sweeteners
Sprouts
Butter-Flavored Microwave Popcorn
Food Dyes
Chain Restaurant Ice Cream

    More scaremongering that has no basis in fact and completely disregards context and dosage.

    I eat practically all of them. It doesn't prevent me from cutting, or from being fit.

    Wow, in the last 4 minutes the list has gone from 5 to 4 to 14. Deja vu.

    Artificial trans-fat is the only food really worthy of that list. The rest are all fine within the context of a balanced diet and assuming no specific medical conditions that require specific diets.

    I eat:

    Nonorganic Strawberries
    Anything from McDonald's
    Canned Tomatoes
    Bread
    Industrially Produced Hamburger
    Corn
    Sprouts
    Butter-Flavored Microwave Popcorn
    Food Dyes
    Chain Restaurant Ice Cream

    Corn: how can it be bad when it comes OUT exactly how it went IN? (It's kinda miraculous... cuz even if you chew it... it comes out whole!)

    Popcorn: I heard all about that popcorn lung dude... I bought an air popper - but not cuz it's healthier... more cause I like to watch the popcorn kernals swirl around and jump and squeak when the first and last ones pop

    Food dye: They put food dye in my body wash... I drink that stuff in the morning... it's my daily cleanse. ;)

    and dayum I'm craving a big mac now

    Never eat foods you don't like, or endangered species because then the psycho eco -freaks (like me) will find you.

    What is up with these lists today? A list of food from an article with claims, taken out of context and without regard to dosage, that are not supported by any actual studies.

    An alternative list:
    Don't eat endangered species.
    Don't eat food that's been produced using child labour.
    Don't eat food that has been produced in the ashes of the rainforest.
    Try to cut down on food that's crossed continents to reach you.
    Try to cut down on food which can't be reproduced in your own kitchen, because they require industrial equipment and mysterious chemicals.

    I am sure there are several "food groups" I have forgotten, but except from what I am allergic to, these are the foods I really try to avoid.

    Me and bread are homies.
    You can catch me sniffing the loaves in the bakery section, it's our 'hello, how you doin'?' thing.
