Bad foods gone good

Divine Caroline's Natalie Josef has a task for you. It's not your usual diet or fitness task, though. No brisk walking, marathon running, or BOSU balancing required. No calorie counting, fat busting, or carb cutting either. Nope. This challenge involves nothing more than your imagination and your wildest dreams.

Here's your assignment, in the form of one simple question: What bad-for-you foods would you turn into good-for-you foods? Pick five. Make them good. And join this chit chat about what you'd choose. Here are my picks:

1. Gooey chocolate brownies
2. Cold Stone Creamery chocolate ice cream with brownies mixed in
3. Outback Steakhouse cheese fries
4. Milk Duds
5. Any chips, any dips

Now, in all seriousness: Check out this AOL Body nutrition site for tips on eating actual good-for-you food.

I wish mexican food was good for you, not all of it is bad but the stuff that taste so good probably isn't good for you.

Everything is good for you in moderation, right?! Though, I have to admit, moderation and free chips and salsa never, ever go together.

I'd vote for apple pie a la mode!

It would also be fun to turn bad-for-you men into good-for-you men :)

Nachos. They have way more calories then they deserve :)

I wish alcohol was good for you and maybe a smoke or two

I always have a craving for margaritas and guacamole! Fiesta Time!

Give me frozen yogurt every day of the week and I'd be a happy camper!

i second the outback cheese fries, back in high school my love of those/apathy for my health lead to a bit of a weight gain before causing me to get really serious about my health when i went to college. So heres the rest of my list:

1. Outback Cheese Fries
2. Fried anything (but in the interest of making a list of 5 specific things this can be a bloomin onion)
3. ice cream
4. soda
5. outrageous portions of steak
