Heart Disease For Kids: Children raised on the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) will develop fatty streak marks in their arteries.

So S.A.D.: It’s so sad that the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) doesn’t get more attention. The elimination & reduction of processed foods, sugary foods, saturated & trans fats, salt, refined grains and fried foods would help reduce many health issues. Every time you eat more plant-based foods, you will be glad that you are no longer eating S.A.D.
