Cakes, cookies, crackers, white bread, and pasta are amongst the many foods that offer us little, if any, nutritional value. These foods have been processed and refined, stripped of their fiber, and are commonly classified as empty calories or "junk food."
Unfortunately, approximately 50% of our caloric intake comes from these high calorie, low nutrient foods. This is one of the main reasons obesity is on the rise and presents one of the major causes of illness today.
What's even more disheartening, is that about 90% of our food budget is allocated
to acquiring these refined, processed foods.
