FU 24
There are many temptations all around us with food
being one of the guiltiest! In today's society we are
surrounded by foods packed with salt, sugar and fat
that are often processed to breaking point. "Guilty
pleasures" is a term often used and for the following 5
foods they have all been summoned to the identity
parade we are going to be looking at here.
The Top 5 Foods to Avoid and Why
Food number one please identify yourself!
Doughnuts
These fellows are covered in sugar to start and some even have
jam crammed into them, again more sugar content. The refined
sugar is fried in refined oil to add to the mixture.
Being dipped in batter and fried is bad enough but when you have a
food that is already high in sugar and fat content then that makes it a
triple whammy!
Be wary of fruits served up like this too as they are likely to be covered
in sugary syrup first like a 'banana fritter'.
Stop playing with the free toy food number four and step forward!
They upset your blood sugar balance by giving you a quick high
followed by a low, purely down to the vast amount of sugar in such
a short space of time. The doughnut also has an addictive quality
that makes it just that much harder to resist. That is one of the
reasons why they are sold quite often in a box of 6 or more!
Ok food number two please step forward
Processed meats
You are charged with being an "unhealthy mystery".
Only the few people actually know what is contained within these
meats and they have probably been sworn to secrecy! The meats
that come from a can and are unrecognizable (most if not all!) are
not going to be great for your body - just think about all the
processing changes that they have gone through in order to look
that way in the first place!
Try to steer clear or cut down on sausages and salamis too - in
particular cheap versions as these contain all the unwanted bits
that have been mixed up with salt and fat too - imagine all the
heads, legs, toes and 'other bits' contained within!
Chicken nuggets
The bastion of the fast food restaurant - the humble yet sneaky
chicken nugget!
This little chap only has a small percentage of content (and most of
that is bulked up with a sawdust type filling) because most of it is the
outer casing and to top it off it is usually fried too - the smaller surface
area that the nugget has, enables it to soak up more fat per nugget,
than say just one large chicken fillet. Making it a particularly unhealthy
choice of chicken.
Last but not least, please step forward number five
Pork scratching
Whether you like pork or not, pork scratching can be very tempting!
Heavy, very very hard, fatty, deep fried and doused in salt - need I say
more!
Ask people in a dentist's waiting room what caused them to make a
visit and you may just find some pork scratching victims there!
It's your turn food number three
Fried desserts
On the night of.....You were seen being consumed by........ Well it
says it all in the name really!
So there you have it 5 suspects have been identified and their
individual cases put forward for you to determine the outcome.
The choice is yours.

optimist. Positive thinking.
