City: Elkhart State: Indiana | Worst Food in America
Hi all. I found this link on MSN that goes through the worst going out to eat food and places in America. I found it interesting! The 20 worst foods in America - Health - MSNBC.com

Its amazing how deceiving the menus can be - "Fish tacos", I don't order them, but I know people who do and thinks its healthy because its "fish".
What an eye opener.

I must live a really sheltered life. I've never even heard of these places or their food! Eye-opening, nonetheless

I was SHOCKED by the Aussie Fries too..... 4 or 5 of us will split them before our meal... that is a HUGE appetizer! Won't eat that again!

Holy Cow said the Bovine Priest!!! Those are some shocking numbers, and I now see the main contributer (other than myself) for my weight gain. Chili's, which was my favorite restaurant for years, was killing me!! :( I am shocked by how high some of those fat content numbers are!

My sister-in-law thought she was getting a "healthy" burger at Ruby Tuesdays by ordering the turkey burger--what a hoot!
Wish they printed them on the menu for people--and they wonder WHY we are an obese society! :rolleyes

Wow, I love the Ruby Tuesday turkey burgers. I don't think I get the Bella burger, but still. I usually skip the bread, but it sounds like I need to skip the burger!!
Wow @ the Chipotle Chicken Crispers.

Holy crap! What's sad is I've eaten several of the things on that list, THINKING it was a healthier choice. Wow! I love the taco salads at On the Border, that's depressing!

I look at Weight Loss Programs - Nutrition Facts - Fast Foods and Restaurants - DietFacts.com before going somewhere. I learned a while ago, things have SO many hidden calories, it's disgusting.. and no wonder America is so obese :(
I use to get Chili's chicken fingers.. then found out from diet facts how many calories were in it, and I was horrified.. so yeah, always check it out before you go!!

My favorite meal at Outback has over 6000 calories!!!!! One of my favorite restaurants too. I used to order either a Fosters or a Wallaby Darned, blooming onion to share, Outback special steak, add 3 coconut shrimp, jacket potato and salad with blue cheese. Even skipping dessert it's over 6000! I can't believe I used to eat this way normally and wonder why I was fat!
