Ban 100% Juice and French Fries or Gain Context?

May 20, 2015 By Patricia Chuey

ACK! If only it were that simple. If all McDonald’s, all french fries and all 100% juice were banned, the obesity problem would unfortunately not be solved! It’s about portions, overall total wholesomeness of food choices, physical activity, stress, economics and so much more. Too much of anything is not good. That includes juice, pop, coffee, milk, almond milk, hemp milk, oat milk…It’s ironic that at the same time juice is targeted, smoothies are very popular and many urban centres have a juice bar on every corner frequented by healthy folks. There are many SUPER ACTIVE growing kids out there who can use the calories and vitamins of real juice. I suspect if we surveyed the fridges of the healthiest people out there, there may be some juice involved – whether homemade from real fruit, raw, organic or 100%. The juice aisle could easily be 1/4 of it’s current size if all the fake and added sugar products were removed…and don’t give juice to babies. Context desperately needed. #ChueyOnThis #NotAllJuiceCreatedEqually

This was the BEST lunch and learn I have ever been to. Informative, not lecturing like this topic can sometimes be. Patricia was a very effective presenter and I found it incredibly beneficial to me. She was fantastic; informative, funny and interesting!
