Eat This! Not That!

I was just scrambling around the Internet, and I just found this disgusting, but amazin' information about what do we daily eat on those fast food restaurants, and also, what they DON'T want us to know.

For example Red Robin, has a nutritional impact for its gourmet burgers. "A gourmet burger starts by being an honest burger," Red Robin's Web site declares—but not, apparently, a burger that will come clean about its nutrition facts. When contacted, Red Robin's senior vice president responded that nutritional information for the menu would be available in October 2007. As of November, however, nutrition facts were still not posted on the site. Another public-relations representative e-mailed us to request this: "As this information is not yet public, can you please confirm that this will not be leaked?" Uh, no.

Now, still wondering around just found about T.G.I Friday's how little nutritional info it provides. A Friday's PR rep told us that the chain makes the data available for only its "low-fat" dishes—those coming in under 500 calories and 10 grams of fat. There are just three such dishes on the entire Friday's menu, pretty lame.

I was wondering, how can Dunkin Donut's does those delicious smothies I always used to buy, well... here's the answer. Each of its medium-size fruit-and-yogurt smoothies packs at least 60 grams of sugar—more than four times the sugar in a chocolate-frosted cake doughnut. The fruit purees used in the smoothies are mixed with liberal doses of sugar and/or high-fructose corn syrup. Amazing uh??

But still, two years ago, I stopped eating junk food, since I got out of my mind with weight. But reading this, has cleared my mind and have stronger thoughts about my decision made two years ago. Hope people who pass here, read this, and become aware of what we eat everyday.

That's it for now
