This recession is no joke and food is not getting any cheaper. That’s why SPAM is making a big comeback. Really. The processed mystery meat is set to sell more cans than they have in past years. Anyway, folks are looking to cut corners any way they can and that Dollar Value Menu can be truly tempting. In fact, many of us have been eating from it for years. All I can say is don’t do it. Some of the items found on those lists are cheap and potential more hazardous to your health than other items.

In yesterday’s Orange County Register, the paper reported on the five unhealthiest value items. This was based on research conducted by The Cancer Project. Consumption of these foods, high in fat, saturated fat, calories and cholesterol will increase your risk of colorectal cancer. This is serious because not only are we more susceptible to getting colon cancer, but  sisters are more likely to die from the disease.

So without further ado, here are five items to avoid at all costs:
1. Jack In The Box’s Junior Bacon Cheeseburger
2. Taco Bell’s Cheesy Double Beef Burrito
3. Burger King’s Breakfast Sausage Biscuit
4. McDonald’s McDouble
5.Wendy’s Junior Bacon Cheeseburger

Enough said.
