Correcting the "American Diet"


Ned's friends will be glad to know that Americans consumed more toxic junk food on the 4th of July than any other day of the year, according to Bloomberg. Here's the loathsome lineup:  'lean' ground beef, WHITE bread, American 'cheese,' iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, ice cream and potato chips. Only tomatoes are nutritious and most of them will no doubt be conventional, slathered with pesticides, and eventually thrown away anyway.
Health care debate, anyone?
Now, let's fix this by substituting real food for the crap that most people ate on the 4th.
Old Crap                                                   Substitution

ground beef                                              buffalo or veggie burger
white bread                                              whole wheat bun, or sprouted grain bun
American 'cheese'                                   organic gorgonzola or other sheep's milk cheese
iceberg lettuce                                         spinach or arugula
tomatoes                                                 (organic) heirloom tomatoes
ice cream                                                nothing
potato chips                                             wholegrain chips (NOT multigrain), or beanitos
