7 foods that should be avoided

Prevention magazine recently wrote an article on seven common foods that everyone should avoid due to their damage to our health and/or the environment.

Prevention interviewed scientists and other professionals to get the scoop on the top foods they determine to be unsafe to eat. Thankfully, there are alternatives to these black-listed foods.

The 7 foods that should be avoided include:
1. Canned tomatoes
2. Corn-fed beef
3. Microwave popcorn
4. Nonorganic potatoes
5. Farmed salmon
6. Milk produced with artificial hormones
7. Conventional apples

I was probably most upset to see microwave popcorn on this list due to the chemicals in the lining of the bag. However, it does provide an excuse to buy one of those vintage-y popcorn poppers I've had my eyes on.
