Your not wrong. Its not just about calories but whats packed with the calories. Sure if your young and healthy enjoy your twinkies while you can. If your old and declining, like me. Then its about eating the way your parents taught you to. Well I would hope so anyway. You are what you eat, may be a old saying, but its literally true.

I was taught to eat and try a variety of different foods. Often your body will tell you what it needs, but it seems like a majority of people have forgotten how to do this. It really doesnt help that the chemical filled/preservative laden stuff is the cheapest.
