this is INSANE

I read this today and my mouth stayed in a dropped postion the entire time. I can't believe it. Some of the numbers they give are SHOCKING! I don't think that people know what they are eating most of the time. Mom, you'll love this.

I told you so! Fast food is killing us. Read Fast Food Nation--it will disgust you.

Have a great day and have Kent take you out to dinner. HA LOL

Wow. A lot of those restaurants I don't consider fast food. I have eaten one of Chilis "worst desserts" before - and loved every moment of it. I don't, however, think I will ever order it again. :)

Leisy-
Thanks for the info., after reading the list it was gratifying to know that I had not ever eaten anything on the list. However, I am sure that all of the good old mashed Idaho potatoes I have consumed wouldn't rate too highly on the list. Now when we go out I am positive that I will be scanning the menu for each of the items on the 20 Worst Foods List and making comments under my breath to everyone seated around me. I am hoping that you are bringing some of that yummy pancake mix to Utah when you come home for the holidays.

Um, scary thing is that a very few number of those things I could see myself purchasing (the Chipotle burrito and I have eaten the whole one at one sitting!!). The awesome blossom is something I love, but usually share. Still, it reminds us that we need to ask for the nutritional info when we eat out. When I was counting calories (and losing weight from it!), I asked all the time or else I would look up the info on the internet before hand. Since then, I have learned by reading the ingredients or having them change the way they cook the items or keeping off the creamy sauce, you can really eliminate a lot of calories!

Tiff and I read through that a couple of days ago!! It was really surprising to see some of those things and the fat they hold... my stars. I had the chipotle chicken strips from Chilies and they are DIVINE. That article did not take my want for them away in the least bit.
