Breaking News: America is Fat.

I'm fat.... and if, like me, you are an American then the odds are that you eat more fried cheese than you do vegetables.  We all need to try to eat better, but how?  As I was strolling through the grocery store today looking for some chocolate covered bacon I noticed a strange symbol on the tag for a bag of delicious Ho-Ho's.  It looked like this:


The symbol was one developed by the folks at NuVal. The short of the story is that a bunch of the best scientists and medical nutritional experts got together to devise a way that they could summarize the nutritional value of foods into a single, easy to understand number and NuVal was the result. 
Their system rates foods on a scale of 1-100 and the higher the number the better the food is nutritionally. Its a great idea and I for one am planning on paying attention. For more info on how you can be less of a disgusting fat body go to their website or watch the below video.
