Fun Facts!

Well, I KNOW I have not posted in FOR EVER which is bad. I think about my poor blog every day but am too busy to keep up. So, I thought it would be fun to post some fun facts maybe not FUN maybe slightly FRIGHTENING facts about the food we eat today.

ENJOY!





I HAD NEVER IN MY LIFE HAD A TWINKIE UNTIL MY UNCLE CAME DOWN FROM TENNESSEE AND BROUGHT A BOX WITH HIM. YOU HAVE NEVER MET A JUNK FOOD JUNKIE UNTIL YOU HAVE MET MY UNCLE. MY MOM NEVER EVER IN A KAJILLION YEARS WOULD LET US HAVE A TWINKIE BUT MY UNCLE BEGGED AND FINALLY MY MOM ALLOWED. SO I WAS READING THE BOOK " EAT THIS NOT THIS" BY DAVID ZINCZENKO, AND HERE IS THE FACT ABOUT TWINKIES I READ.


Did you know, that Twinkies are packed with massive doses of something called polysorbate 60, a petroleum product used to construct plastic bottles?

I think personally, eating a plastic bottle might be better for you. :P


Did you know, that McDonald's is the world's largest purchaser of beef, potatoes and apples?

Also, McDonald's opens a new restaurant every four hours!



Personally I am built athletically so I need to stay fit all the time and eat healthy all of the time. It is really hard for me because sometimes I want to sneak in those extra little treats, but when I do I gain so FAST. Thankfully I play tennis which is a VERY athletic sport and makes you run so it keeps you in good shape!

Did you know, that tennis is the ONLY sport that gets your heart rate up faster than any other?

Ta-Ta!
