The 10 Worst Snack Foods
 |
Enter any convenience store in the United States and you'll quickly spot an array of so-called foods that could have come straight off the request list on Lil' Bow Wow's concert rider (I did not make this up. The young rapper's contract states that he must have the following foods backstage: Twizzlers, Doritos, Sprite, Starbursts, Hawaiian Punch and orange soda). But hey, Bow Wow's no worse than Britney, Christina or any teen in any mall anywhere in America. Or their parents.
Snack food in America seems to become more horrible with every passing year. Here's my list of the worst snack foods of all time. (But be forewarned: This list could become outdated the minute the food industry introduces yet another must-have concoction of sugar, chemicals, coloring and grease to add pounds to your waistline while adding nothing to your nutrition.)
1. French Fries
Don't be reassured by the fact that McDonald's is changing its cooking oil. French fries are still starchy white potatoes cooked in hot fat and flavored with chemicals and sugar. Possibly the worst snack food on the planet.
2. Donuts
Fried bread. Need I say more? And if that wasn't bad enough, add a sugary cream filling and a glaze of more sugar on top. Any questions?
3. Chips (Potato or Corn)
These are really just a packaged version of French fries (see #1). However, you can do damage control on this one by switching to baked blue corn chips, available in health food stores. It's still not real food, but it beats the 7-Eleven version any day.
4. Soda
And sorry, this includes the diet kind. Absolutely nothing of any value here, and a whole lot of chemicals to boot.
5. Cupcakes and Snack Cakes
The creamy filling is fake whipped cream, and the rest of it is sugar, flour and flavoring. You've gotta be kidding.
6. Candy Bars
You might squeeze a gram or two of protein out of the nuts in some of them, but by and large they're a sugar orgy and a nutrition nightmare. Again, you can move slightly up the food chain by switching to one of the "energy" bars. Most are just candy bars disguised as health food but they often have 1/3 less calories, quite a bit more protein and a bit less fat. Don't confuse them with real food though.
7. Pork Rinds
Fried pork skin. Not a good thing!
8. Fat-Free Cookies
These are even more insidious because they pretend to be healthy. Remember, fat-free doesn't equal calorie free. Betcha can't eat just one!
9. Crackers
Trans-fats anyone? Most crackers are loaded with 'em. Read your labels carefully to find the few that aren't.
10. Pretzels
Surprise, surprise. Remember, just because something doesn't have fat doesn't make it good. This is just white flour, water and sugar masquerading as a healthy snack. Fuggedaboutit.
Runner up: Those creamy, carmelly, coconutty coffee mocha-latte-frappe drinks that are taking over the universe. I love my Starbucks too, but 20 ounces of caffeine, sugar, whipped cream and milk taken once or twice a day does not a lean waistline make!
And yes, the calories you drink count.

At school for lunch sometimes I'll have frenchfries, a donut, and maybe chips. (Those are all the top 3) And I weigh about 120 pounds and 6 feet tall. These servey things mean nothing.
God I love junk food. I can burn it off, though. I lift weights 2 and a half hours a day and I run a couple of miles every other day. I am 5'11 and I run in at 220 pounds with 6% body fat. My favorate thing to do is eat about 200 peanut M&Ms over a weekend while playing counterstrike for 6 hours and then having to run 5 miles to burn them off.

ahhh!!
I hate it when people say that just cause u eat "bad" food you'll become overweight!
Just go out and do a lil excercise and you'll be fine! I eat junk food pretty much all the time!
I eat EVERY ONE of those, especially number one the most.
I don't have any diseases, I am 5"8 and weigh 110-120 pounds.
lol
Actually, pork rinds are good for many people. They fit Atkins like a sweater with their high protein and low carbs.

It's not really WHAT you eat, it's if you can burn more than you intake.
There's no way this is correct. Homer Simpson eats donuts all the time and he has the same figure from day 1. Although, there was that one time he had to wear that moo-moo, but that was due to eating play-dough.
This list doesn't come close to the reality of the ten worst snack foods.
The single worst snack food ever created is the Puffed Rice Cake. No taste, no texture, no calories, no pleasure, no fun.
The second worst snack food ever is the celery stalk.
See, I have to disagree with this one.. Celery is the ultimate compliment to a good set of buffalo wings and some bleu cheese... I don't like dipping the wings in the bleu cheese, but the celery makes and AWESOME scooper for it..
That personally hurts...badly.
those things rock

Serien,
The entire list can be shortened to 1 thing:
Avoid all foods, drinks, that have as the ingredient ASPARTAME and/or NUTRI-SWEET. Watch what "sugar" packet you use to put sugar into your coffee. Make sure the ingredients say sugar. Not Aspartame, or saccaren.
They are the exact same ingrediant. It is a poison with over 100+ side effects. A book recently came out called "Sweet Poison" (available at all major bookstores like Barnes and Noble, etc...)
http://www.sweetpoison.com/about-sweetpoison.html
It profiles how military Top Gun pilots have dropped dead, athletes, and others, have suffered from this poison that is in almost 50% of all American food, and drinks.
As for McDonalds, and other fast foods, it's common knowledge that it all is junk food. Which is also poisonous. (It's made with the garbage butchers normally throw away.)
i have a sollution to this.. be a bum like me and not buy food... save alot of money just dotn eat as much and excersize... and your loose weight... wow dont eat as much you think people would be able to think of that themselfs
