Oh boy, that's a visual with some impact Rett. How come I like all of the ones with the biggest piles?? sigh At least I drink my coffee black, so I think I'll have another cup. Enjoy your Special K! Sue
Hi...I also have these same photos in a powerpoint. I have actually had my students check to see if they are accurate and some are not - for instance in the 1st photo the can of coke is incorrect because it has 39 grams of sugar which converts to 13 teaspoons...i think each sugar cube does not equal 1t...I have my students do this activity with candy as well as soda and juice - they love doing it because they get to eat the treat and then make a poster with the candy/soda label and measure out the exact amt of sugar in a baggie and tape it to poster - the whole school gets to see these and everyone is always surprised to see it! And natural sugar is much better than processed sugar...Makes you THINK, doesn't it??
So great, I just started south beach diet and none of those are on my list to eat. We get to add some fruits back in next week. But pretty amazing how all the natural foods have so much less.
Wow, this makes one think twice about taking a sip or bite of any of these. So much for healthy fruit. LOL Guess snacking on carrots is the way to go. ~ Sarah
This was a great post! I really need to watch that sugar intake more. I love strawberries and special k and now I have even more encouragement to eat them. Thanks!
I came over to see if your toes are still tapping. Better be careful, someone will get a video of it, and the next thing you know, the whole world will see it! LOL!
Wow this was a great post! I agree a picture is worth a thousand words or maybe in this case a thousand calories from sugar!! Really glad that I found your blog.
Oh, Rett, Mr. Sweet and I have been eating Special K with strawberries all last week. This week, it is some other Special K. I sure am feeling good about it, too. This is amazing and I am sending it to my daughter. xxoxo bj
HI SWEET FRIEND!! now that is so wrong!! I cannot be consuming that much sugar on a weekly basis!! Those food companies are turning me into a sugar loving zombie!!! I love so many of those things!!! Corn...carrots.....who knew!!! OK, I will join you and eat Special K!!I do love it!!!| SO glad your sis came for a visit!!! that is always special!! Hugs 2 U, jamie
Wow! These pictures do it like no numbers on the back of a package can!!! I'm really depressed about the Starbucks pic-had one yesterday to keep me awake on a long drive! No physical activity except slamming on the break and steering the car. Not too many calories were burned there unless you count the stress of driving. Linda
How cool is this? Guess I'll be hiding the snicker bars. ha! The midnight milky way probably has less--and we all know dark chocolate is sooo good for our hearts.
After seeing this I think it's a good thing I love strawberries.
I'm a critical care RN & was married 28 yrs to a warm & funny family practice physician, who passed away 2-7-15. I wish we had found each other sooner, so we could have loved each other longer.
I have 1 daughter & am called "Nana Rett" by her 3 children, my 2 grandsons & 1 delightful granddaughter. (Hubby had 12 grands & 3 great-grands, too)
I enjoy sewing, quilting, smocking & embroidering clothing for them along with playing tennis for exercise and do throw an occasional dinner party just to keep my cooking skills from getting too rusty!
I hope your creativity will be nurtured here.

A picture is worth a thousand words:@)
ReplyDeleteEven fruit has so much sugar! Can't win. I don't drink but I guess wine has a lot since it is made from grapes.
ReplyDeleteI drink sugar free sodas, but I know they are bad too!
How about if we dip the carrots, and never those packaged baby ones, they have all kinds of chemicals for preservation in them, in chocolate! :)
I'm feeling pretty good about having those strawberries in the frig...I'll be having mine with cheerios! Scary isn't it?
ReplyDeleteRett,
ReplyDeleteThat is really interesting. Two oreos wouldn't be too bad. LOL.

Wow! That apple and peach are starting to look better and better! (I love them anyway, so no problem.)
ReplyDeleteDepressing.....just depressing. Thanks for the visual Rett, food for thought I guess.
