Trash In, Trash Out

I love a touch of trash- but in my food? I am notorious for eating absolute garbage even when I know it makes me feel terrible. Twinkies (RIP), frozen processed meals, sugar sugar and more sugar. But here's an interesting article- check it out:

You think the FDA has your back? Sure, they recently proposed two new regulations to up food safety measures, specifically how food processors and farmers can work better to keep their fresh products free of dangerous bacteria (remember that killer cantaloupe outbreak from 2011?). But while it may seem like the government is out to protect us from bad—even fatal—food-borne illnesses, which cause some 3,000 deaths a year, they don't completely have our best interest—or health—in mind.

Hmmm maybe it's not just calorie count but WHAT you're eating that matters....
