Healthy foods

[figmo]

Five foods I like and why they're "healthy:"

1. Chocolate Milk
It's cholesterol-free, and high in calcium, magnesium, and iron.

2. Strawberry Margarita
It's fat-free, cholesterol-free, high in vitamin C, and the alcohol in it has been shown to help prevent heart disease.

3. Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
It's got iron, vitamin C, potassium, and some complex carbohydrates.

4. Sugar-Frosted Flakes
Yeah, sugar is bad for me, but you can get at least 25% of nearly all your daily vitamins and minerals by eating just one bowl of this stuff. Sounds good to me!

5. Irish Coffee (hey, blame hitchhiker!)
The following study shows drinking Irish Coffee could prevent severe brain damage in stroke victims.

I'm reminded of an episode of Fat Albert they showed us in kindegarten. When Fat Albert was told that the candy he was eating wasn't healthy, he pointed to the ingredients listed on the label. "Oh yeah?" he said. "Check out the ingredients. Flour. Water. Milk. All good stuff!"

I last saw that at age 5, and I still remember it. Wow. I've just impressed myself a bit.
