An accessible, full-color guide to the best-tasting natural and organic "junk" food — filled with nutrition info and tips for finding healthy snacks.
Snacking is an American way of life: in a given year, 97 percent of people buy candy and chocolate, 96 percent buy soda and purchase chips, and 89 percent eat ice cream. Now, the creators of NaturallySavvy.com have created a fun, easy-to-use reference guide to eating "healthier" snacks and natural foods free from artificial ingredients, preservatives, food colorings, trans-fats, and toxic food additives.
Each chapter focuses on a different type of junk food (i.e. ice cream or cookies), making it easy for readers to quickly locate the foods they're craving, and includes a list of specific ingredients to avoid in each category. Offering a side-by-side comparison of natural/organic product recommendations against popular conventional brands, the authors reveal some of the craftiest and misleading labeling tricks including confusing serving sizes and advertised health benefits. Complete with pictures and helpful icons, Unjunk Your Junk Food belongs in everyone's shopping cart while navigating the aisles at the supermarket.
