4. Oscar Mayer's Lunchables: Sure, they're convenient and easy , but they're also unhealthy! These kid-marketed lunches are loaded with saturated fat and sodium. They usually contain highly processed meats and cheeses, white flour crackers and sugary treats. Lunchables get around two-thirds of their calories from fat and sugar, and they provide lopsided nutrition since they contain no fruits or vegetables."They insidiously promote obesity by making kids think that lunch normally comes in a cellophane-wrapped box," Burke says. "Parents are promoting their children's obesity by buying these items. They're expensive, too. Pack a sandwich and save dollars and health."
