Concerns About the Standard American Diet

The standard American diet is raising significant health concerns, particularly among the younger generation. Notably, preteens and teenagers are increasingly being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, a condition previously associated predominantly with older adults. The high carbohydrate intake associated with popular foods like Lunchables is cited as a major contributing factor to this alarming trend. Experts argue that the focus on harmful components such as sodium or lead is misplaced; the real issue lies in the excessive carbs being consumed.
