Sorry to leave you guys hanging for a couple of days.
I went away to the mountains and was busy with work, but I'm back! And as you can see, I'm making up for lost time with a couple of new posts today.
Check out this report from the Center for Science in the Public Interest, which bills itself as "a strong advocate for nutrition and health, food safety, alcohol policy, and sound science."
An excerpt from their press release:
"Burgers, pizzas, and quesadillas were never health foods to begin with, but many restaurants are transmogrifying these foods into ever-more harmful new creations, and then keeping you in the dark about what they contain,” said Michael F. Jacobson, executive director of CSPI. “Now we see lasagna with meatballs on top; ice cream with cookies, brownies, and candy mixed in; ‘Ranchiladas,’ bacon cheeseburger pizzas, buffalo-chicken-stuffed quesadillas, and other hybrid horribles that are seemingly designed to promote obesity, heart disease, and stroke.”
Looking at all this can make you crazy, especially when I think about how many similar meals I've eaten in the past! And I wonder if there were calorie counts on the menu if I would ever go to a restaurant again.
I guess there is something to be said about this tip that I've seen: Immediately ask your waiter or waitress to box half your food.
Any other tips or healthy alternatives out there?
