What I’m Reading: It’s easy to become obese in America. These 7 charts explain why. (Vox)

1) We eat out — a lot
2) Portion sizes have gone up, up, up
3) We guzzle sugary beverages on an unrivaled scale
4) Healthier foods can cost more
5) Our vegetables consist mainly of potatoes and tomatoes
6) Too many of our meals are like dessert (American breakfast is often nothing more than disguised dessert.)
7) We’re bombarded with ads for unhealthy food

Do any of these ring a little true for you? (Perhaps you eat out a few times a week or maybe you have classic syrup swirling inside that venti cup.) If there’s low hanging fruit within your reach to improve your diet, grab it!  Look for ways to reduce or eliminate bad nutrition habits from your life and create beneficial ones. Could you make a mini-commitment for the next 30 days to shore up your nutrition in some way?
