Never is a pretty harsh word. Especially when it comes to food. You might exclaim, "I'm never going to eat that again." But do you mean it? According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, you should make a serious effort to avoid these five foods:

Contadina Alfredo Sauce. Some of you like the convenience of this creamy delight, but though it may bring joy to your tongue, it wreaks havoc on your insides. This refrigerated sauce should make you "afraido" when you learn that one half-cup serving contains 400 calories and 38 grams of fat — the equivalent of melting one-third of a stick of butter on your pasta. A better choice would be Classico Spicy Red Pepper, DiGiorno Fat Free Chunky Tomato with Basil or Mama Rizzo's Primavera. They each contain significantly less fat, while maintaining a high level of taste.

Rice-A-Roni Chicken & Vegetables. Turns out the San Francisco treat is more like the sodium treat. Check out the numbers: One cup — that's a side dish, folks — contains 1,470 mg of sodium. That is half your day's recommended limit. If you think the vegetables will save you, take a closer look at the box. You can just about count the number of peas, carrots and tomato particles, not to mention the chicken dust. A tasty alternative is Marrakesh Express Couscous, which slashes about 90 percent of the sodium.

Campbell's Red and White Label Soups. Their ads say, "Soup is good food." Apparently, they think sodium is good food. Just a half-can of soup contains more than 1,100 mg of sodium. Other brands, such as Healthy Choice or Campbell's Healthy Request, contain significantly less sodium. In fact, to be labeled "healthy" a soup must contain no more than 480 mg of sodium per cup.

Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream. Don't tell me you're surprised? Sure this stuff tastes great, but it even puts "regular" ice creams to shame. A cup of Butter Pecan tosses 46 grams of fat into your system, which, to put into perspective, is like eating two Quarter Pounders from McDonald's. A cup of the Chocolate Chip will set you back 24 grams. If you must spoon the Haagen-Dazs, try their lowfat varieties, which taste good and have just six grams of fat.

Oscar Mayer Lunchables. Maybe your kids like them for lunch, but would you eat these little monstrosities? It's hard to spot the nutritional value in this combo of processed meat and cheese with mostly white flour crackers. What is easy to spot is the fat. The Lean Turkey Breast (be afraid of the non-lean) & Cheddar Cheese on eight "wheat" crackers contains more saturated fat than a McDonald's Quarter Pounder. A better idea is to top some Reduced Fat Triscuits with a Healthy Choice cold cut.
