5. KRAFT MACARONI & CHEESE CHEESE TOPPING – When you consider this sprinkable flavoring costs about the same per pound as Parmigiano-Reggiano—one of the world’s great cheeses—it’s no wonder Kraft includes all those synthetic additives. Buy a chunk of the real stuff and grate it yourself.

4. PERDUE FUN SHAPES BREADED CHICKEN BREAST NUGGETS WITH CHEESE, BASEBALL SHAPES – What fun! Sodium-laced gloves, baseballs and bats! How come no shapes of steroids and overpriced tickets?
3. KELLOGG’S LEGO FRUIT FLAVORED SNACKS – My guess is that these Lego-shaped items are similar to gummi bears. They are also available in many different themes, including Hot Wheels, Barbie and SpongeBob SquarePants.

2. BETTY CROCKER LOONEY TUNES FRUIT FLAVORED SNACKS – The same product as #3, but heaven forbid General Mills (which owns Betty Crocker) misses the boat on wreaking havoc on our kids’ health! Why should Kellogg’s have a monopoly?
