for 30,000 years stuff has been evolving for us to eat it. in the last ten thousand we have been artificially selecting the stuff. In the last hundred years we started selecting for farmer profit and not people survival.

Kirk Cameron proves this by the way we redesigned the banana in the last 10,000 years. Of course he thought he was proving someone else did the redesign.

Death is mother nature's way of telling you your diet is wrong. Everybody out of the gene pool.

Most of the items you listed each had more than 30 g. of carbs. The only one under 20 was Bear Naked All Natural Granola. Blah!!!I think we consumers who care about our weight can do better.

what a crock -- everything on the list, except frozen vegetables and plain rice, is packed with sugar -- AND everything is packaged. Not food.

The very title of this piece in my opinion shows how stupid we are about food. Food isn't healthy or unhealthy. The person eating food is in a relative state of health or dis-ease. Eating natural food, in general (while there are a million specific dietary ideas that may or may not be helpful), is a good way to maintain or even restore one's optimum state of health.

That list is pathetic. I saw no organic items and the meat, if you eat meat, is factory farm, cruel kill. It's just more advertising.

I use "emergenC lite" in a drink I invented:

the "vodka emergenC" or if you prefer the "rum emergenC". Add a little cranberry juice and blue Sky lemon lime soda (its not to sweet) and you've got a nutritious,tasty drink. Vitamins and painkiller in one, no joke. add what you like, just remember the alcohol and the "emergenC".

Since I don't have a 640 X 480 monitor, everything was too damn small to read. Women's Health is in serious need of a good web site designer.

I agree--there sure is a lot of junk food in this list. Not much listed that I would want in my system. Lots of fancy empty calories

"Healthy packaged food."

Best oxymoron of 2007.
