Little Star

MacGyver made us some chicken fajitas the other day and everyone was impressed with the dish.  He said he had found a Fajita seasoning packet at Aldi that he wanted to try.   

When I went to Aldi a few days later, I checked out the seasoning packets.  I was about to pick up a packet when I noticed the big difference between the health star rating* of the fajita and taco seasoning (0.5 stars) and the burrito seasoning (1.5 stars).


I flipped over the packet and discovered the secret to the yummy fajita MacGyver had prepared.

Top ingredient : SUGAR!



Clearly not all foods are created equal.    

*Health Star Rating - The Australian Government's initiative that assigns health ratings to packaged food and beverages.  This was established as a preventative measure in slowing or reversing the rate of overweight Australians.
