  • annefood Good question @saidaj . Yes, many store-bought tortillas do contain added sugar (Mission, for example). The best bet is a small, local brand that uses only a few ingredients. Unfortunately that...
  • saidaj Well, I live in Mexico and the tortillas that my mom buys are handmade and not store bought. Thus, there is no label.

I knew the number was high, but this is pretty sad. I'm sure part of the issue is that healthier food options don't have budgets for celebrity endorsements.
  • darkchocolatepeanutbutter I don't like this trend at all. It reminds me of when celebrities endorsed cigarettes in advertisements. I'm glad Michelle Obama has celebrities endorsing fruits and veggies for her campaign but...
  • munchiemummy There should definitely be limitations on junk food advertising, just like there is for alcohol and cigarettes. Unfortunately, big food would put up a big fight.

In Jazz class, the teacher always has sweets and its hard to say no when the table is right next to the piano (where i have to sit) for the entire class period. Any tips on how to tell myself to sa...
