It's hard to not eat bad food even knowing it's bad, I think that much is both obvious and sad. :-( It is hard I think because people get some amount of addiction and CRAVING for the food. I know I fight with this issue. Remeber the China visit (with the spitting/hocking)? While in China I craved sweets intensely, it was daily and did I mention INTENSE? The closest I coul get is orange Fanta soda, but their daily foods, sauces, breads, etc. don't hold sugar the way everything here does. Upon my return, I had ice cream which actually didn't taste so good to me and things were different. Unfortunately, it took maybe a week here for my sweet tooth to be restored.
