Get an added fruit boost by slicing some fruit and topping your cereal with it. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that you can just stock up on fruit juice to boost your quota – the inferior nutritional qualities compared to real fruit and vegetables means that fruit juice only counts as one portion no matter how many glasses you drink.

Because it’s so cheap to manufacture these non-foods, as high fructose corn syrup is dirt cheap and so is cardboard or whatever else they add into that box of cereal, the cost of high processed “food” is much less expensive than a bag of apples. This is unfortunate but it’s the truth.
