This post is about eating right. Coming from me, this is a little out of whack - I have not eaten right for about 90% of my life and I weigh 20 pounds more than I should.
But the evidence is clear, eating processed foods with high sugar content is about the worst thing a person can do for their health (other than smoking or drinking/drugs).
The real enemies are sugar (along with high fructose corn syrup) and white flour. They cause our bodies to chemically do some bad shit that ends up giving us big guts and a high propensity for diabetes.
The right way down the road to eating more healthily is to give these things up. Switch to getting your sugars from natural places like fruits and switch to 100% whole grain bread and pasta and eat wild rice instead of white rice.
I do my best to follow these rules and when I do, I feel better, my waist shrinks and occassionally I lose a pound or two.

There are countless benefits to eating a little healthier. As college students you are finally on your own...you choose between lucky charms and corn flakes, between white or wheat bread. Your parents might still send some items along, but you make the daily decisions.
