It's lunch time, and you'rehungry. You have two
choices

rice,
a big
heap
of
steamed
broccoli, and a grilled, skinless chicken breast
. Or you can have French fries, a cheeseburger, and a chocolate milkshake.
Which meal would you choose?These are the kinds of decisions you'll have to make

soda? An apple or a candy bar?
Even when you know which choice is better for you,

tasty
