The AARP Hates All My Favorite Foods

Being a healthy eater after 50 means two things: boosting intake of good-for-you foods like berries, leafy greens, whole grains and lean proteins; and cutting out the foods that clog your arteries, raise your blood pressure and risk of diabetes, affect your cognition and expand your waistline. ... And when possible, just say no -- or at least "whoa!" -- to these 25 foods.

A bit of a caveat to the veggie way, which I have followed mostly for 25 years:

Frozen fruits and veggies have less pesticide residues, and are often fresher because they are cleaned and flash frozen right after picking.

Just be wary of Gov allowed limits, as Monsanto doesn't really care about you at all.

So you don't have to Join AARP to read the link:

I presume that's the same list.

They're against processed, salty, fatty, sweetened stuff.
I'm against denying myself things I love to eat. In moderation.

For years I used to eat a cheeseburger and fries once a month... just to prove I wasn't being too rigid, lol.
