In a sigh of relief, young people gourmet cooks found comfort when reading this list that their favorite foods were absent. They’re busy now preparing a dinner favorite of a plate of Spam with a bowl of Ramen.

This reminds me of the time I was in a hotel, chatting with the girl behind the front desk, when a moribdly obese woman walks in. She wanted a paper cup because she was worried about heating tea in a mircowave inside of a plastic or foam cup and releasing chemicals into her tea.
As she left, I verbally mused about the likelihood of her dying from being fat vs. chemical-laden tea.
We have an interesting way of being penny-smart and dollar-stupid when it comes to our health in this country.
I eat all of those except oysters--I'm on a low slime diet and avoid those. I eat ice cream rarely but lots of leafy greens and eggs.
