Top 10 most disturbing junk foods
By The Foxy LifeDon’t worry, we’re not going to totally gross out here. No “insect caviar” or boiled sheep’s head. We’re talking about something even more disturbing. Something that populates grocery shelves and convenience stores in every town in America… That’s right, junk food.
* Velveeta. First problem here -- it's not cheese. It's "pasteurized processed cheese product" comprised of vege oil, modified milk solids, stabilizers, flavorings, and other chemicals. We ate this stuff as kids and admittedly it makes a pretty delish grilled cheese, but even at a young age we were skeptical of a "cheese" that didn't need to be refrigerated at the grocery store. These days, we'll take a good Gruyere or a scrumptious Swiss over this faux food.
* Twinkies. Any snack that’s been around for over 70 years can’t be all bad, right? Hostess produces half a billion (yes, billion) Twinkies a year, so someone is buying them – and presumably eating them. Four inches of enticing golden cake (or cake-like substance) filled with gobs of vanilla (or vanilla-like) creamy filling. What’s not to love? For starters, the long list of chemically ingredients that include high fructose corn syrup, polysorbate 60, yellow 5, red 40, and a host of other bizarre sounding goodies. Each little treat serves up 5 grams of fat (nearly half of which is saturated), 25 grams of carbs (of which over half is sugar), and a measly 1 gram of protein. Our feeling - you’re probably better off with a supersized cupcake that contains a few more ingredients found in nature. Read More »Eggo shortage? No need for waffle withdrawal
