How To Make Oatmeal Unhealthy (Brought To You By McDonald's)

This is just unbelievable. Eating healthy is as difficult as one's ability to discern ingredients. Oatmeal is oatmeal. Fruit is fruit. Honey, anyone? Read this article by Mark Bittman called, "How to Make Oatmeal...Wrong". And here is a small snippet:

The aspect one cannot argue is nutrition: Incredibly, the McDonald’s product contains more sugar than a Snickers bar and only 10 fewer calories than a McDonald’s cheeseburger or Egg McMuffin. (Even without the brown sugar it has more calories than a McDonald’s hamburger.)

Obesity is not a wonder. Diabetes (type two, that is) can be a result of decisions, bad ones, made time after time. Look at the ingredients. Or, better, buy things that are the ingredients (i.e. oats, tomatoes, cherries, potatoes, etc.). That's it.
