Personally, I would love a 1-100 rating system to help me make quick "lesser-than-two-evil" selections. My unconventional job keeps me on the road constantly, and I find myself resorting to gas station convenience stores for sustenance all too often. It's hard to use "common sense" when pickings are slim and you're in too much of a hurry to read nutritional labels. One day I'll get my act together and pre-package healthy snacks for myself...

I've heard pickle juice is a cure for cramps that many athletes swear by.. is there any scientific evidence that supports this?

even the info informing the stars is suspect!

Some rats were fed packaged cold cereals and another group ate the boxes they came in - the rats eating the cereals died faster than the ones eating the boxes! (this story is told in Eat Fat Lose Fat by Mary Enig and Sally Fallon

Oh please! How 'bout just eating less packaged foods??? This is not rocket science, eat less processed crap! Learn to cook real food it's not that hard!

Oh please! How 'bout just eating a whole lot less packaged foods??? This is not rocket science, eat less crap!

I went to the Whole Foods in Union square the other day and they already have something like this in place.

there are no healthy cereal bars! BS is part of the business of unloading industrial "food"!
The bottom line is people need to get a clue as to what food is, how it grow, where it comes from, and make their choices from there. Supermarkets aren't really about food!
