Murphy's Law:  "If it can happen...IT WILL"..So many components we must watch and DO FOR HEALTH SAKE!  More important..for our own self.  The most important: Fruits, Veggies and Grains..if they do not have this at a fast food drive-in..get out of the car and go to the produce department..start there, if you have just a drop more time..go to the cereal isle and get a box of Kashi. Which one?  GO LEAN/13 POTEIN/10 FIBER/1 LOW FAT. Learn these numbers like your SS#. Choose a time to WALK..I am about to push the publish button and walk..
