    Really??

    "The United States Congress tried to declare in November that frozen pizza qualifies as a vegetable. The reason had nothing to do with nutrition: It was a financial decision that related to foods in schools (and an attempt to avoid upsetting large food companies)."

    And on top of that the government is forcing schools to now force certain foods onto kids. All they do is take it and throw it away in the trash if they dont like it. But the schools have the extra cost of all this new required food that is mandatory. Big government is great isn't it?

    Right? this was invented by nutritionists? 12 weeks of nothing but water and donuts. And more than 2 dozen a day, to boot. I want to know how many people actually attempted this.

    And this “If you want to loose some flab in 2011, the All Donut Diet is the way to go,” said Jillian Michaels, the celebrity trainer on NBC’s The Biggest Loser. “Next season, we’re making sure all of our contestants follow it.” I have a very hard time believing she actually said this, in a serious manner.

    Good list! Especially the supplements one. Seems like there are tons of them on the market now, most of which do nothing at all.
