Thanks for sharing that. For me, there are too many breakfast foods that are healthy and delicious to waste all those Evil Treat credits on crappy choices. I'd rather save a blowout junkfood-fest for a burger at lunch or a decadent dessert. Eggs, green smoothies, and whole grain breads taste great to me and are a lot healthier. Great blog, and love your tweets--you're an inspiration! Oh wow–I knew those were terrible breakfast choices, but the numbers are pretty astonishing, aren’t they? Thanks for sharing that.

You know I can't remember ever learning about fast food in high school. It was long time ago so maybe because there weren't as many and on every corner. I love to hear there are teachers like you not only helping kids begin healthy habits but giving them the info they need. Not only should it be required on menus but how wonderful it would be if it was required in school, not as a general health course but details about what's out there today for food choices. Can you imagine the impact it would have? Thanks for all you're doing to help them be healthy adults! That's awesome! Thanks Shana!

I'm a high school health teacher and we just finished our unit on nutrition this week. My students (9th graders) were amazed at the amount of calories they were eating in one trip to a fast food restaurant. I told them the scary one is the amount of salt in these foods they are eating as well as the fat in calories. They also were shocked when I showed the normal portion sizes: deck of cards for a piece of meat, tennis ball for a scoop of ice cream, etc. When people don't have good information, they tend to make easy choices. My nutrition lessons always open the eyes of my students every year. This is a great post. I’m a high school health teacher and we just finished our unit on nutrition this week.

And of course if you choose to eat those foods you have a right to. But where restaurants/fast food places fall short is providing info and alternatives. I always notice that when an article comes out listing nutritional info about fast food people are generally shocked at how many calories, fat grams, sodium etc. All expect the numbers to be high but are stunned by how high. Thanks for commenting Michele :) Hi Michele, I think time is a big issue for many. And of course if you choose to eat those foods you have a right to.

Where I live seems there's a fast-food place on every corner. My biggest pet peave is the lack of info provided to the consumer. At least then if someone chooses to eat it, they've made an informed choice. But I suspect the reason they don't is that a lot would be stunned at what they're actually eating and choose something else! Thanks for stopping by David and your breakfast choice sounds just perfect on a cold winter morning :) Hi David and yes, I think it’s very common.

I'll stick to my bowl of stodgy porridge oats made with warm semi-skimmed milk and a tiny drizzle of maple syrup, thanks.
