The Friday Fight: What We're Really Eating
Posted by Natalie Deangelo on Sun, Aug 29, 2010 @ 07:16 PM
Hello Fighters, I hope you had a fabulous weekend!
I had to follow up on my previous post about what Americans are really eating with this crazy stat from Fitness Magazine: Statistics show that the average American consumes 56% more processed foods like candy and ice cream than fresh food like chicken, veggies, and nuts.
WOW - 56% more processed foods! That means, when given the decision, the average American will choose processed foods more than half of the time when deciding what to eat for a meal. Maybe it's because our environment is continuing to produce and support things like this: sandwiches in a can (or Candwich, as he calls them).

As you go into your week, fighters, think about this stat when you choose your breakfast, lunch or dinner: Ask yourself: which choice am I making? Overly processed foods that don't support weight management? Or fresh foods that keep you healthy and lean? I think you know which choice Full Life supports!
