So...basically anything with flavor! Really though, the more I learn about bad foods to eat: butter/oil can be substituted in so many different ways like: Flax seed, applesauce, yogurt, pam spray. Also, so many people think they are getting their protein with lunch meats....SICK! They are SOOOO bad for you!! And chips are in thier own bad realm. LBH..these are yummy foods but we can find ways of substituting them. I am gonna work on that this week.

Every one of these sugest fresh food and whole grains anyway. Who needs all the fake flavor right?

• NRC
• American Cancer Society
• American Heart Association
• American Acadamy of Pediatrics

I am sure there are many more. Lets try to eat fresh and right....dont forget to forgo the butter.
