I'd hate to see what the 55-year-olds look like in your town.

Jack was a beast in his day--hell, he was a beast in his 70's--but it's long past time to stop comparing him to 55-year-olds.

I definitely recommend you replace all that soda with water.

Re: Food that\'s \"good\" for you that doesn\'t suck
 

Cut out the pop completely, and replace it with at least a gallon of water a day. If you just did that and nothing else, you'd start to notice a difference. 2nd step would be to start phasing out fast food.

Egg whites are healthy, a good source of protein, and you can add a lot of different stuff depending on what you like to make scrambled eggs or omelettes. Pretty quick to make too.

Oatmeal with cinammon and Splenda is also a pretty healthy and good-tasting option.

nuts, chicken, white fish, bland and not too bad, all healthy.

It doesn't take too much to cook chicken so it's not bland.

As someone who is a lifelong soda addict, and periodically comes off it and feels the difference, I'd be surprised if the coke didn't have something to do with it. All that caffeine and sugar do some serious messing with your system, even if you can't feel it right away.

Oatmeal for breakfast.

Try some different cheeses, there are plenty of tasty ones out there.

Cheese is one of the worst things for you.

Sure does taste good though.

But if you're gonna call cheese healthy, I'm going to start looking where dogsh*t is on the food pyramid.

Different chicken seasonings are all over. Serve it with different sauces over wild rice and vegies. Tastes great.

I'm into jambalaya recipes using healthier/leaner meats these days and more wild/brown rice than white rice.
