Less Perplexed Than Gluttonous

It’s said conflicting studies have left us confused about what we should eat. Ha! It’s more likely that some of us feign perplexity so we can keep eating as we please. A Harris Interactive poll asked adults to rate the healthfulness of various foods on a scale of 1 (“not at all healthy”) to 5 (“very healthy”). Just 1 percent rated cookies as healthy (giving them a 4 or 5). Also scoring poorly: potato/ corn chips (2 percent), cakes/pies/ muffins (2 percent), candy bars (2 percent), ice cream/frozen confections (4 percent) and shelf-stable meal kits (5 percent).
