Worst foods in the world

Here's a funny post from a New York Times blog, hitting some highlights on a new book about the worst foods in the world -- meaning the least healthy. A lot of the info is about food that seems healthy, but isn't much, like a bran muffin at Starbucks.

I was interested in the finding that a Cinnabon gooey cinnamon roll was the worst airport snack, at 813 calories. Heck, that's not so bad. Three of those a day and I could still lose weight. As long as I didn't eat anything else.

Comments

Love the comments posted by the readers. Seems most heartily agree on the subject of bad food. But the blog itself is plain as day. People make unintelligent choices about what they eat. Obvious stuff.

When I was a child, my Dad used to gently remind me, "Now, remember. Your eyes are bigger than your stomach." And he was always right. I would simply pile food on my plate because I liked the way it looked (or something). But I could never finish as much as I had served myself to save my life. I think being educated about appropriate portions from an early age helps, too. A lot.
