- AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -6/+83You know, with an otherwise healthy diet, having these things every now and then isn't going to kill you.
- MrStabby, on 10/12/2007, -7/+76"Who knew McDonald's Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips & Campbells soup were terrible for you."
At least 45% of the world population...? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -14/+72Yes you were.
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -2/+58Couldn't have said it ьеттзя myself.

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+47"McDonald's Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips sounds healthy."
No...they don't... - CupBeEmpty, on 10/12/2007, -9/+51So Campbells goes on for its salt content!? The whole "sodium causes hypertension" has been largely disproved and as long as you are well hydrated your body can handle an unreal amount of sodium. Booo that.
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -7/+48Hot pockets belong on that list.

"if it weren't for hot pockets and cans of soda/caffeine,..."
Ahh... I'm glad you reminded me...SODA....
The bad part of sodas is not the caffeine. Or even the white sugar...or even the phosphoric acid, which actively dissolves and removes calcium from your body, removing bone mass, and creating other problems in our already severely calcium deficient bodies, for most of us (well, that IS pretty bad).
The real bad thing about sodas like Coke, Pepsi, Sprite,etc, is that they contain a preservative called sodium benzoate (also found in other manufactured foods).
If you take some sodium benzoate and add an acid, like ascorbic acid (vitamin C), or citric acid (... both found in orange juice). the molecules are broken down by the acids, and converted back to Benzene, which is highly toxic and widely known as a major cancer producer.
In addition, sodium benzoate consumption seems to have a cumulative dulling effect on the taste buds, so that you taste less and less, and require stronger stimuli to produce even a mild sensation.
So why do the Coca Cola company and so many other corporations add this crap to their products?
Well..they are cheap, they kill stuff, including microbes that cause food spoilage, and the public doesn't know how bad they are.
These corporate swine are banking on the public's ignorance and apathy, to maximize their profits! - diggduggjoe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+38The saturated fat fears are overrated, too. Heart disease is mostly due to the lack of collagen to repair your high stress points in your arteries. Your body has evolved with a backup plan to low Vitamin C levels, it fills cracks with cholesterol until your diet improves. The key thing is ascorbic acid is required to create collagen.
Watch any of the good heart medication commercials and they show cholesterol filling up the interior of an arterial wall. In fact, in response to low vitamin C levels your own production of cholesterol increases.
Fat does not clog your arteries like it does your drain pipes. If, it did ,we all would be suffering hand and feet "attacks". Clogs occur not at the low flow narrow points, but at the highest pressure points. A diet high in saturated fats is bad for when you eat mostly meat, you are not eating your vegetables to get your vitamin C. Many animals with a very high fat diet do not get heart disease for they make a tremendous amount of ascorbic acid in their livers.
Why not see for yourself?

They found out it was selling, so now cheetos and others are redesigning packaging to include farms and green *****. Just make sure you're actually buying organic, instead of organic marketing.
- 98acura, on 10/12/2007, -4/+34hey look, 0.05% of digg users, can read your comment! Yea yea, i know, the internet is everywhere.. but if you are on a predominantly English site... use English..
- ajaxfontura, on 10/12/2007, -8/+33http://www.duggmirror.com
- Waterispoison, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25No one will come between my Chipotle and me...no one...
- DesireCampbell, on 10/12/2007, -8/+31Yeah! None of that toxic chemical *****! I hear a lot of foods have "Dihydrogen Monoxide" in it now! http://www.dhmo.org/
- macosx86, on 10/12/2007, -6/+27I've had enough with the first comment always being lame!
I think users should be banned for a while if they get buried more than a 100 times.
What do you think? - Trogdor420, on 10/12/2007, -3/+24"No Kitty! Thats MY pot pie!!! Bad kitty!"
/obligatory - Fhionnlaoch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22"who eats a whole god damned pie in one sitting?!"
Perhaps you don't eat very man pot pies, but they actually come in personal sizes when you buy them pre-made. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -12/+33Buy organic.
- jrapp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22I don't think you quite understand. They're talking about "Pot Pies," not cherry pies. Take a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pot_pie . Totally different things. A pot pie is only about 4 inches in diameter - easily eaten in one meal.
- quaunaut, on 10/12/2007, -5/+26Half those things are half my diet. You can tell me whatever you want about how bad it is for me: I'll die with a smile on my face.
- toast1226, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23@jcaino
pot pies are different than pies. a pot pie is pretty small (the size of a small bowl)
edit: damn, all you guys beat me to it. digg me down - dvddesign, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21Everyone should skip the article, and go to Calorie King instead.
http://www.calorieking.com
And make up your own minds about what's good for you and what's not.
It's not about ingesting straight calories or sodium. Drink a ton of water, and the sodium gets to be a moot point. Fiberous carbs, protein, and fat content go a long way in calorie absorption and expenditure. Eat fiber heavy foods (and not just for toilet humor level jokes) to keep you full. Keep proteins for essential amino acids, and stick with unsaturated fats in your food. I eat as well as any other person calorie wise, but I eat smarter. And cheap, if you're wondering. $150 a month. If people would read the freakin' nutrition label you'd be a lot better off.
I get disturbed by exclusion diets (no carbs/protein, only grapefruits, only green foods, only raw food) as those people miss certain things that they either suffer from, or must supplement to obtain that which their bodies need.
The diet people need most is honest education. Read. The fewer promises a book and it's author makes towards losing weight, but more emphasis on healthy eating, the chances are better that this book is better for you. Get a good liveable diet together. Replace your current eating habits with new ones, permanently.
Anyone that wants to lose weight and keep it off, has to be willing to change their diet for the rest of their lives if they want it to really work. Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig, and the rest are just there to LOSE weight, and not maintenance (ie, the rest of your life). - cmw72, on 10/12/2007, -7/+21"who eats a whole god damned pie in one sitting?"
That's not impossible ...
I used to bullseye womprats in my T-16 back home ....
They're not much bigger than two meters! - ThinkBox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13so, are you saying that this article changed your opinion of the quad stacker? "Oh I used to think it was SOOO healthy!"
- cru99, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Everything in moderation.....so eat one of these no more than once a year.
- asimo8, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16I would absolutely love to eat nothing but organic (and non-GMO) foods but they are so expensive. I can easily spend twice as much for the same amount of food at Whole Foods or Trader Joes than at a normal grocery store.
- zephc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14lies and propaganda by the evil members of Clan MacDonald!
- samadam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11What are you talking about? They list chicken, but steak with guacamole would be even higher.
it is number 9.
scroll bar...scroll bar. - ryodoan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Meat is murder, and murder is delicious.
- AngryBacon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Uh.. Guacamole is bad for you?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guacamole
Avocados, lime juice, tomatoes, sounds good for you! - richpav, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12If someone comments in a foreign language then someone else replies with a translation, where's the harm in that? It should happen more often, not less.
I spent 10 days in the US on vacation in December, back for the 1st time in 4 years having lived the last 16 in Japan. Dudes, your supermarkets are totally wack. A refrigerated isle the length of a football field filled with nothing but ice cream?! Who the hell needs that much ice cream? The same goes for cookies, sugary breakfast cereals, pastries, cheese...No wonder you people are so goddamn fat.
My poison is Smartfood popcorn. I found a bag of it practically as big as my torso. I ate the entire bag myself, simply because it was there and it was good. So I do understand how obesity happens. But dudes, just take a look down at your body. You people are eating yourselves to death. - dreamtenstudios, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I agree that most of those foods are terrible for you, but they are basing the article purely on calories and fat content, not mentioning that not all calories are created equal. Sure, Chipotle's food has a lot of calories, but the ingredients aren't nearly half as bad as those Burger King's and McDonalds. Chipotle's ingredients don't contain any hydrogenated oils or trans fat, and their meat is made without harmful antibiotics, gh's, and steroids. I'll take an 1100 calorie burrito over a 1000 calorie quad stacker any day.
- anti_hax0r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Chipolte is healthy - the sour cream and cheese is fat and the portion is too large.
- btattersall, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9wasn't the whole purpose to medically document exactly how bad it was for you?
- DesireCampbell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9The Campbells and the MacDonalds are not the _best_ of friends...
- alphacorvus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I love how these articles always fail to mention that you can occasionally enjoy a treat like one of these items as part of a healthy diet. Sure, if you eat them every day it's not going to be wise, but eating these things doesn't result in instant death.
Besides, I can think of some foods that would dwarf these items in every category. - llnk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7wtf? Fat-Free BBQ Pringles should be at the TOP of that list! Read this and it'll turn you off Pringles for life!
http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/lax/182862349.html
YOU PRINGLE BASTARDS! - Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I was doing so well until I got to that part. I love Chipotle. Granted, I was under no illusions that it was healthy, but I didn't realize it was *that* bad.
- PABeachBum, on 10/12/2007, -9/+16Or maybe you'll be one of those extra happy people, who have a stroke and spend the rest of their life without being able to use half of their bodies...
...or even better yet, maybe you'll have type II diabetes, and have to shoot insulin for the rest of you life, as well as possibly losing limbs and your eyesight.
Yes. Sounds like something to smile over for sure. - quasipalm, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Went down too fast for even dugg mirror. Maybe Coral will pick it up if the server isn't completely gone... http://www.cspinet.org.nyud.net:8080/nah/10foods_bad.html
[edit: appears to be up now on dugg mirror too... woot] - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+16Salty? Who can say "NO!" to some great Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup?
Not me!
~Weston Campbell - WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9That is precisely why a lot of us use organically produced foods.
Edit....here in the East Village, NYC, organic foods at some local stores cost close to the same as the regular, toxic, supermarket foods,
and many of our local supermarkets are beginning to carry organic products - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7While none of these items are good for you, I put no weight in a health article with old fashoned salt-phobe thinking. Sodium only has ill effects on the body if the person reacts to it. This "salt is bad for everyone" is nothing more than a superstition.
- Coyote566, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8the chicken noodle soup shouldn't be on this list. It is perhaps one of the best ways to rehydrate yourself if you actually get off your couch and work out (albeit hard) or play sports once in a while. Just like most things, eat in moderation or suffer the consequences.
- WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7@angry bacon
"Uh.. Guacamole is bad for you?...Avocados, lime juice, tomatoes, sounds good for you!"
Are you saying that you would leave out the onions, chili peppers, or especially, the fresh cilantro?
I'll never come over to your house for Guacamole! - Flankk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6This article is a bunch of FUD and actually really upset me. Now even soup is bad for your heath? What a joke.
Let's take a look at a 284 mL tin of Campell's Condensed Tomato Soup. It has no saturated or trans fat and no cholesterol.
It is a source of vitamins A and C as well as fibre, calcium and iron.
But wait, the sodium is the real killer! Let's look at the numbers.
One condensed serving is 125 mL, a can is 284 mL.
284 mL / 125 mL = 2.272%
One serving has 770 mg of sodium:
770 mg * 2.272 = 2094.4 mg
That's one teaspoon of salt in 20 ounces of soup. You could drink the ***** daily and be perfectly healthy. - Cbeck527, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8...including moderation ;)
- FrankieB078, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Those quad-burger sandwiches from Burger King are good too. I ate like, 3 in one day...
