I've always been a little wary of foods labeled "Lower Sodium" and "Lower Fat," (not to mention foods labeled Organic). I never had any reason to believe it was mostly a scam, but now I do.
MSN has a nice article on the "Top 10 Food Mistakes" this morning, and it provides a lot of cool information about advertising tricks and how to avoid them. I'm by no means a consistently healthy eater, but I found some of the advice inspiring and tasty. Hard boiling half a dozen eggs and having one for breakfast with some fruit and a lightly buttered English muffin really set my taste buds off...I can't wait to go to the store on Friday now. Yum.
I often wonder what older generations would make of our lifestyle and our focus on exercise and healthy eating. I don't think it does any good to wonder that, but I believe a little activity goes a long way in contributing to health. In other words, I don't think it' s necessary to work out or be in athletic shape to be healthy.

After eating organic cheese crackers today, I too am leary of organic and low sodium foods. Besides, I love me some Chik-fil-A! Thanks, for the tasty advice.
There has been research by the Cooper Institute in Dallas that says that if you exercise thirty minutes a day, you are doing great. However the change is that you might walk ten minutes on your lunch hour, then ten more minutes on you way home from work, then you might take a ten minute midnight swim. This equal to 30 minutes and the research says that that is equal to 30 minutes all at once. I like that.
I think the older generation just ate more healthy. They probably grew the veggies instead of buying ones that said "organic" on them. Your post made me hungry! Yummy!
