The Lesser of Two Evils

Part of the mission of America SCORES is to fight the growing epidemic of youth obesity. One way we try to combat this is by promoting a healthy and active lifestyle through regular exercise and soccer. In addition to this, we also do our best to be good role models and positive influences when it comes to eating habits. And while it would be amazing if we all ate five small meals a day with all our fruits and veggies, we must reconcile with the fact that we have cravings that have to be satisfied and sweet teeth that seek indulgence. So instead of trying to avoid our favorite spots all together we need to be aware what items to avoid at our favorite spots. So to help us all, here are a few tips from the book series "Eat This, Not That".
