By Hadlee Labrum Photo Editor It seems the best tasting food is always the worst for you. Chips, candy, soda, chocolate, and much more, all these taste so good in your mouth but do pretty much nothing for your body. Some people don’t realize how unhealthy junk food is. The average American consumes 2-3 pounds of sugar each week. This is not surprising considering that the highly refined sugars are in forms of table sugar, corn syrup, and high fructose corn syrup which are being processed into so many foods, such as bread, breakfast cereal, mayonnaise, peanut butter, ketchup, and spaghetti sauce. In the last 20 years the U.S has increased sugar consumption from 26 pounds to 135 pounds per person, per year. Candy and sweets may satisfy a craving or hunger, but only for a short amount of time with little nutritional value.
