Today Is National Junk Food Day Soooo...

I know good and well you guys did not think I was about to say go out and binge on junk food!:) The following excerpt from "Beating the food giants" by Paul Stitt will help you to realize that your day of binging can easily turn into days, weeks or years: "Many nasty tricks are used by the Food Giants to make you overeat. Adding lots of fat, sugar and salt are obvious ones. They also put things in junkfoods that make your tastebuds and cravings go crazy. Have you ever eaten just one Oreo cookie? Bet you can't, either. They look so sweet and innocent!

What you should realize is that the Nabisco Company spent millions developing that formula so that you can't eat just one. It contains 23 different appetite stimulants and 11 artificial colors. I saw the recipe and I was aghast. It's not easy to make a cookie that will hook every last American. So next time you buy a package of Oreo Cookies, be assured that you'll eat them all at one time and gain another pound. And, the Food Giants will have another dollar in their pocket."
