posted May 27, 2008 - 1:32pmSome healthy foods may be making Americans fat.
It's not the lettuce, mushrooms, broccoli or tomatoes. It's the food that's labeled "low-fat" or "low-carb." A whopping $30 billion dollars a year is being spent into tricking comsumers into thinking these types of foods are good for us.
