Super Size Me?

by Louise May 18th, 2008 | Diet
If you like eating at fast food restaurants, but want to get out of that habit, I'd recommend watching Super Size Me. Super Size Me is a movie created by and starring Morgan Spurlock.

If you are under the age of 18, don't let Mom or Dad read this article!  Otherwise it will be time to say goodbye to french fries, corn chips, and any other flavorful salty treat.  Plus, all of your favorite sweetened sodas could be a thing of the past.

It has been well documented that reducing salt in an adult's diet is a healthy choice.  Similarly, a lower salt diet is important for children.  According to a study by He, Marrero, and MacGregor, reducing the amount of salt in a child's diet will  reduce the amount of sugary soft drinks
