Food Navigator

While many people maintain a fit and healthy diet, others fail to do so with the many cravings of ice cream and donuts holding them back. These unhealthy cravings can contain extreme amounts of sugar and carbohydrates that add onto bad fat for the body. Here are five of the unhealthiest foods.


1. Fast Food Iced Tea

This sugary drink is served at many fast food chains and restaurants as a beverage to wash down your food. Yet what many people don't realize is that fast food iced tea can be extremely harmful to your body. This sweet and savory drink contains Propylene glycol alginate (E405), which can cause cardiovascular or neurotoxic issues.

2. Tilefish

Although this platter of tilefish appears healthy, it is harmful towards your heathy body. Tilefish are ranked the worst fish to eat above shark and swordfish. This is due to the extreme amounts of mercury found within their body.

3. Microwave Popcorn

This extremely popular movie snacking item is also very unhealthy and fat-filled for your body. Microwave popcorn contains absurd amounts or trans - fat which can form layers around the heart. Microwave popcorn also contains diacetyl (DA), a chemical known to break down the boundaries of brain cells!

4. Fast Food Chicken Nuggets

The fast food chicken nugget is a popular hit served at almost every fast food joint over the world. These breaded chicken bites contain Diglycerides, Red #40, and carrageenan, harmful chemicals used to keep the little organic nutrient of chicken nuggets fresh. These chemicals can also be in the chicken nuggets at the frozen isle of the grocery stores.

5. Fruit Juice

While many companies claim that their juices are healthy and 100% fresh and pure, many fall short. Fruit juices contain high amounts of fructose that can be unneeded and unhealthy for body functions. This extra fructose can lead to unwanted fat all over the body!

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
