There has been a lot of reevaluation on the foods we eat over the past couple of years here in the United States. A lot of the early 2000's were full of foods that we later determined weren't the best for our long term health. Does anyone else remember the jumbo size you could buy from McDonalds?

Here in 2024, we seem to have a better handle on what's better for us in the long run. However, that's not to say somethings don't slip through the cracks. Many parent's in todays world are working harder in ensuring that their kids are eating the best things they can, however, in a processed food world, that can be hard.
