Yummy fast food is so appealing that it's a "go-to" when we need a quick meal which everyone in the family will like. Americans eat more fast food on average than people of any other country. We also buy highly or ultra processed food at other places, including grocery stores, when we need that quick meal.
But do we make that choice for excellent nutrition? Nope. Ultra/highly processed foods (photo) or fast foods are convenient, but no one thinks they're the healthiest choice. We need something easy because we have hectic schedules, or because no one at home can cook.
Some say Americans are also the sickest. According to a 2020 report from the CDC, over half of us have chronic conditions or diseases.
So, what should we eat instead? Our current federal government has taken a stand in favor of "Real Food," saying "highly processed food has hollowed out our health, driving obesity, diabetes, heart disease and early death."
In that case, what should we eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner?
