　　ABC News：A few kind of the worst food for a picnic

　　They&aposre romantic, they&aposre relaxing, they&aposre a perfect way to fill up a weekend afternoon and a good excuse to soak up some extra vitamin D. Who doesn&apost love a picnic?But bore you pack up that wicker basket, take a survey of your dinner. Dangerous food additives? Check. Pesticides? Check. Food poisoning? Check (maybe).Some of America&aposs most popular picnic foods harbor all kinds of unwanted junk, in addition to being just plain unhealthy. Whether you&aposre trying to eat healthier, or you just want to avoid food poisoning, we&aposve got healthy alternatives to these unhealthy basket staples.

　　Sugary Soda

　　Full of empty calories, those 140-calorie cans of convenience may travel well to a picnic, but they&aposre full of preservatives linked to kidney damage and dyes that may cause liver cancer.The cans themselves are lined with bisphenol A (aka BPA), a chemical linked to brain cancer, breast cancer, diabetes, and other diseases.Think fruit juice is any better? It really isn&apost. While you get some vitamins and minerals, you&aposre still swilling a lot of sugar without the healthy fiber you get eating whole fruit.

　　Brew a pitcher of iced tea, and pack it in a mason jar. Full of antioxidants and low in calories, tea is a healthy drink without all the toxic food-packaging chemicals. Or try one of our 8 Healthy Sodas.

　　Potato salad needs to be stored in a cooler that maintains a temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit.If your picnic plans include grilling, leave the imported shrimp at home. Between the banned antibiotics, pesticides, bacterial residues, rodent hair, and insect fragments frequently detected in imported shrimp, it&aposs one picnic staple that deserves to get lt behind at the seafood counter.Hunt down wild-caught American shrimp for the cleanest alternative to the stuff imported from South America and Asia, recommends the nonprofit Food & Water Watch. If you can&apost find any, take along some smaller filets of wild Alaskan salmon for a great dose of omega-3s that can handle the heat of any grill.

　　Toxic Fruit Salad

　　Nonorganic fruits can harbor up to 64 different pesticide residues. Summer staples like nectarines, peaches, grapes, and blueberries have some of the highest levels, according to the Environmental Working Group&aposs most recent Shopper&aposs Guide to Pesticides in Produce.Even with the pesticides, nonorganic fruit salad is still healthier than the other mayo-laden sides most people tote to picnics. But use as much organic fruit as possible to lower your exposure to pesticides linked to nerve damage, hormone disruption, and other reproductive problems

　　Genetically Modified Corn Chips

　　Nearly 90 percent of the corn grown in the United States is genetically modified, designed to either resist herbicides or create bacteria that kill insects. A new kind of genetically modified corn is even being developed to resist one of the chemicals used in Agent Orange, the Vietnam-era doliant that continues to sicken thousands of veterans.

　　Stick with brands made from organic corn, such as Garden of Eatin&apos, or go for something completely unique. Beanitos are chips made with black beans, and contain the same calories (140) and fat (7 g) but way more protein than corn chips. Or shave off 30 calories by eating Late July Organics Mild Green Mojo chips, made with green chiles. At 110 calories per serving and 3 g fat, they&aposre even made with flax and chia seeds, both chock-full of healthy omega-3s. Go a step further and make your own chips using healthy vegetables.

　　Poisonous Potato Salad

　　When was the last time you ate a potato salad that wasn&apost drowning in mayonnaise? In addition to being gut-busting, mayo-based sides are a food-safety nightmare, particularly in hot weather, when any foods containing mayo need to be in a cooler that maintains a temperature of 40ºF.Swap out your mayo-based potato salad for a recipe that uses vinegar, like this recipe for New Potato and Snap Pea Salad. Lower in calories than mayonnaise, vinegar isn&apost going to curdle in the heat. Plus, vinegar slows your body&aposs conversion of starches into sugar, and reduces blood sugar spikes. Ergo, you won&apost need to end your picnic early so you can head home for an afternoon nap.

　　Candy Coleslaw

　　Another mayo-heavy side, coleslaws you buy at grocery stores are usually made with tons of added sugar. Even if you buy the bagged coleslaw mix in the produce aisle and a separate dressing, you&aposre still adding unhealthy amounts of sugar to otherwise healthy cabbage and carrotsHere again, whip out the vinegar. It gives your coleslaw a nice tang without the added calories and food-safety risk. Give your picnic an Asian flair with something like this Thai Coleslaw with Napa Cabbage that uses fish sauce and rice vinegar, instead of fatty mayo, and has just a hint of sugar.

　　Porky Pasta Salad

　　Like any carb-heavy dish, pasta salads can pile on the calories faster than you can unpack your picnic basket. A single cup-size serving can dole out up to 350 calories, accompanied by an unhealthy dose of rined carbs.Your body doesn&apost really crave heavy carbs in the summer time anyway (you&aposve probably noticed that restaurants switch from marketing sandwiches to salads in the summer). Take along a regular salad of leafy greens with an oil-and-vinegar dressing. Need hints?

　　Cancer-Causing Cold Cuts

　　Think replacing your hotdogs with cold cuts will leave you with a healthier lunch? Think again.Cold cuts are preserved with the same chemicals, sodium nitrate and sodium nitrate, used in hotdogs, chemicals that have the potential to cause various types of cancers if eaten in large amounts. Another reason to leave them behind: listeria. Deli meats are commonly contaminated with the bacterium, which thrives even at rrigerator temperatures.

　　Enjoy your meat, sans preservatives, by baking or cooking a roast or turkey or chicken cutlets yourself, and slicing or shredding the meat to bring it along on your picnic.

　　ABC 新闻：几类最糟糕野餐食品

　　周末下午的外出野餐最美不过了，既浪漫又休闲，还可以晒晒太阳多补充些维生素D。谁不喜欢野餐呢?在你准备野餐篮子之前，检查一下食品吧：添加剂?农药?食物中毒?有可能。很多美国最受欢迎的野餐食品都是垃圾食品。如果我们想吃得健康一些，或者避免食物中毒，尽量选用健康食品。

　　含糖汽水

　　每听汽水热量高达140 卡路里，虽说野餐时携带方便，但它含有可导致肾脏损害的防腐剂和可能导致肝癌的色素。每只罐的内衬含有化学物质双酚 A ，与脑肿瘤、 乳腺癌、 糖尿病等密切相关。也许带上果汁更好吧?才不是呢。果汁含有维生素和矿物质，还有大量的糖份。吃个完整的水果才有对健康有益的纤维素。

　　泡一壶冰茶，用玻璃罐子装好。茶含有大量的抗氧化剂而且热量很低，又无包装食品的有毒化学品。或者尝试我们 提倡的8种 健康苏打水。

　　如果您的野餐有烧烤计划，不要带进口的虾。因为在进口虾中常常检测到禁用的抗生素、 农药、 细菌残留、 啮齿类动物毛发和昆虫遗骸，所以这种野餐主食还是留在海鲜柜台里吧。根据食品与水产品监测组织建议，可以选择美国野生虾，代替从南美和亚洲来的进口虾。如果您找不到，可以带阿拉斯加野生大马哈鱼的鱼片，其含有大剂量的 ω-3 脂肪酸，可以用来烧烤。

　　有毒水果沙拉

　　环境工作组织关于农药的最新购物者指南提醒消费者，非有机水果含有 多达64种 不同农药残留，夏季时令水果像油桃、 桃子、 葡萄和蓝莓等，有的含量更高。即使有农药残留，水果沙拉比大多数人带的蛋黄酱沙拉更健康。但是，请尽量食用有机水果，可以减少农药对你神经损伤和激素阻断，以及其他生殖问题。

　　转基因的玉米片

　　在美国种植近 90%的玉米属于转基因玉米，旨在抗除草剂或病虫害。正在开发的一种新转基因玉米还可以抗橙剂，一种越战时代的落叶剂，让成千上万的退伍军人病残的化学品。建议食用的有机玉米品牌，如伊顿花园，十分独特。贝尼特斯玉米片含有黑豆，与一般玉米片相比，同样的热量 (140) 和脂肪 (7 g)量， 却含有更多的蛋白质。或者选择7 月底上市的有机玉米片，可以省下 30 卡路里的热量。每份含 110 卡路里和3g 脂肪 ，还混合了亚麻籽和鼠尾草籽，后两者富含 ω-3 脂肪酸，对健康很有利。早吃早健康，选择健康的玉米片吧。

　　有毒土豆沙拉

　　你最后一次吃不含蛋黄酱的土豆沙拉是什么时候?任何含有蛋黄酱的食品在夏天都需要40º华氏度以下的冰箱冷藏。可以用醋来替换蛋黄酱，像新配方的马铃薯豌豆沙拉，热量低于蛋黄酱沙拉， 醋也不会遇热凝结。另外，醋还可以减慢人体内的淀粉转化为糖，降低血糖水平。因此，您不需要提早结束野餐而回家午睡。

　　含糖的拌蔬菜

　　你在杂货店买的 凉拌菜通常添加很多糖。即使买的是袋装的，也混合有生产加工过程中添加的佐料，本来是健康的卷心菜和胡萝卜，却添加了不健康的成份。这里再次换成醋。用醋做凉拌菜不会增加热量和食品安全风险。让你的野餐带上有亚洲风格的东西，像泰国 凉拌菜，用的是白菜和鱼酱、米醋，而不是蛋黄酱，仅含有一点点的糖。

　　猪肉通心粉沙拉

　　像其他高热量的菜一样，意大利通心粉沙拉提升热量的速度比你打开野餐篮的的速度还快。一杯大小的量有 350 卡路里，还伴有其他不健康的精制碳水化合物。在夏季，人体真的不需要大量的糖。(你可能注意到了吧，餐厅在夏季主要营销的是沙拉，而不是三明治)。野餐最好带上用油和醋调味的绿叶蔬菜沙拉。还需要提示么?

　　致癌冷盘

　　你是不是以为用冷盘替换热狗的午餐更健康?再好好想一想吧。冷盘含有与热狗相同的硝酸钠等化学品，长期大量食用 有可能导致各种癌症。不带冷盘的另一个原因： 李斯特氏菌。通常污染熟食肉类，甚至在冰箱里照样大量繁殖。带自己做的肉，不含 防腐剂，可以 烘焙或烹煮之后切片或切碎肉带着去野餐。
