I suggest you take a look at that site and Energy Kitchens’. If you decide to be “fit and fruitful” with the “Power Classic Banana Berry Smoothie”(www.jambajuice.com/menu-and-nutrition/menu/smoothies/classic-smoothies), you’ll consume 122 grams of sugar — more than in three 12 oz. Cokes and as much as in a litre of Mountain Dew or two 16 oz. Rockstars — and that sugar will contribute over 80 percent of the 590 calories (just under a third of the FDA’s recommended daily intake for a “moderatly active woman”) in the drink. If you “go healthy” with an Energy Kitchen “Steak Frite Wrap,” you’ll consume 1864 mg of salt which is 80 percent of recommended daily intake and more than in 11 small or 5 large orders of fries at McDonalds and you’ll get another 493 calories or 25 percent of RDA.
I have no problem with students wanting, or Sodexo offering, this junk, but I do object to having to watch The Fordham Ram swallow it without chewing.
