The sugar on this Country Fried Chicken - Hungry Man doesn't seem so bad but it is everything else that is in it!

Some situations are inevitable that you may need to have something quick on the run that is not healthy for you and should be avoided if at all possible. Also try and avoid pre-packaged food and or TV dinners, as they have so much horrible stuff in them.

People need to wake up and pay more attention to labels and start caring about their health. Diabetes is a real thing believe it or not. My mother is type 2 which is weight induced, think about the people around you who love you and care for you, before you make silly decisions by allowing yourself to eat over what you should per day and not exercising it off and allowing yourself to become obese and possibly sick with other things that sugar and cholesterol can cause.

A lot of restaurants I have noticed in the states like to add sugar in their foods to sweeten them up, take veggies for example, they aren’t supposed to be sweet. If they are something is wrong. Veggies are veggies, like carrots for instance, it’s supposed to taste like a carrot not like they put salt/sugar or anything in it. A friend of mine whom doesn’t care about his weight and usually tries to eat over his calories per day every day, I asked him the other day if he eats pretty healthy.

We normally ask each other what we had for breakfast/lunch/dinner and this morning he said he had Quisps cereal mixed together with Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shreds which turns out to equal 11 ½ teaspoons of sugar.

That is one heck of a lot of sugar, when according to the (AHA – The American Heart Association) says 6 teaspoons (25 grams) for women and 9 teaspoons (38 grams) for men.
