I contributed this article to The Chalkboard that unpacks the basics around the social, economic, ecological and, of course, health-based issues surrounding Standard American Diet.

The Standard American Diet (SAD) has often been characterized as a diet pattern that favors a high intake of ‘fast’ and processed foods that are mainly composed of refined grains, added sugars, lab-made fats, added salts and preservatives.

The horrifying part of the prevalence of the Standard American Diet is that its grip is pervasive and seeps into many parts of our daily lives — such as encouraging busy Americans to purchase packaged and pre-made foods as a staple rather than an occasional option in a hurry.
