The key to healthy eating is -

avoid any food that has a TV commercial



Do you agree? I just saw this and thought, yes that is pretty much right, you don't see a great deal of fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables on commercials, or good healthy basic foods, you see lots of 'low fat/low sugar/diet/health/ blah blah blah things, and lots of very bad unhealthy things too,

    Wow, you are so right! What is funny (or infuriating) is that a commercial for some huge, fat-dripping fast food meal is followed directly by a weight-loss supplement that has all kinds of warnings about giving you a heart attack. Ick. I guess the only answer is--turn off that TV and take a walk!

    The egg council, the dairy council, the beef council...our statewide chain even does commercials featuring the growers.

    I just watch Netflix to avoid them all.

    Eggs, beef, pork, chicken, milk, yogurt, fruit, cheese...

    Those all have commercials-and that's what is popping into my head without a lot of thought. I'm sure there are more non-evil foods that have commercials...

    I also hand the mail ads for pizza and fast foods to my 7yr old and he yells "no mommy!" and has fun ripping them up and throwing them in the trash. We also have fun saying" turn the channel" as soon as a food ad comes on tv. It has turned into a fun game :)
