The Red Eye Diet
Today's Red Eye featured an article entitled "Eat lean, save green" that offered advice on how to buy healthy food without breaking the bank. While the majority of the article promoted the consumption of fruits and vegetables, the side bar labeled "Apples to Doritos," which compared the prices of various junk food to the healthy stuff, did nothing but undermine the argument. We're not going to get rid of our obesity problem by reminding ourselves that a Dunkin' Donuts Boston Kreme doughnut not only tastes better but also costs about half as much as a grapefruit.
