The book [?Eat This, Not That!?] includes a clever ranking of the country?s 20 worst foods in various categories. Here are some of them:

Worst Fast Food Meal: McDonald?s Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips with creamy ranch sauce. Chicken sounds healthy, but not at 870 calories.

Worst Drink: Jamba Juice Chocolate Moo?d Power Smoothie. With 166 grams of sugar, you could have had eight servings of Ben & Jerry?s.
Worst Supermarket Meal: Pepperidge Farm Roasted Chicken Pot Pie. One pie packs 64 grams of fat.

Worst ?Healthy? Burger: Ruby Tuesday Bella Turkey Burger. With 1,145 calories, not a very healthy choice.

Worst Airport Snack: Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll. Packed with 813 hot gooey calories and 5 grams of trans fats.

Worst Kids? Meal: Macaroni Grill Double Macaroni ?n Cheese. With 62 fat grams, it?s the equivalent of 1.5 full boxes of Kraft Mac ?n Cheese.

Worst Salad: On the Border Grande Taco Salad with Taco Beef. A salad with 102 grams of fat and 2,410 mg of sodium.

Worst Dessert: Chili?s Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream. At 1,600 calories, it?s like eating the caloric equivalent of three Big Macs.

Discuss. 😉

Yeah, there was a very similar thread here:

It wasn't quoting the same article, but the list of foods looks the same. That thread itself was a repost of a repost.

You mean eating sugary and fatty foods is what makes you fat? So THAT'S what we've been doing wrong all these years.

Augh, the chest pains! /croak

I need to gain weight.

Looks like I know what I need to eat now! 🙂

Although most of those restaurants aren't around here. Some of that stuff is ridiculous! I didn't know you could eat a fairly average dinner and go over 2500 calories.

Moe: Oh, boy! The deep fryer's here. Heh heh, I got it used from the navy. You can flash-fry a buffalo in forty seconds.
Homer: Forty seconds? But I want it now!

for the past 6 months i have eaten very clean...very strict with little indulgence..combined with a disciplined exercise program..my resting heart rate is awesome so is BP, stress levels, blood work..and the best part...my allergies are better and I did not get sick one time this season...when all around had flu and respiratory infections. after the first fours weeks... you really dont miss it. every now and then i will have some "junk"...

Good stuff. not for everyone though...to each their own.

A guy at work, who is morbidly obese was making his usual 2x double decker sandwich with gobs o meat, cheese, peanutbutter, mayonaise, jelly etc...all the time wheezing moving the 4 feet from the counter to the fridge... good lord I am glad i am not like that...he takes the elevator to go up one flight, cuz he would code if he walked.
