Loving me some food. I have realized lately that there are too many media. We have 8 cable news channels, 2-5 newspapers available locally and the internet. We need fodder to bitch about. Once again intellectual honestly took a back seat to sensationalism.
Yes we are a fat nation. Yes 920 calories is a lot of food but so what?
Randomly I picked Chili’s restaurant, okay I was there last night. I had a happy hour Burger which I think is smaller but I could be mistaken. Anywho, look at this example;
- (Healthy, you’d think) Smoked Turkey Sandwich with Bacon
- 1030 cal
- 64 g of fat and 5300 mg of Sodium, less than 2400 is suggested for good health
- Fries
- 430 cals
- 26 grams of fat
- My 20 oz soda says it is 300 calories. Fill your glass twice I bet it is 4 -500 caories
This meal is 1860 cals and 90 grams of fat. Throw on the molten Chocolate Cake with Ice Cream which I almost did and you get this;
- 1270 cals
- 62 grams of fat
- 1060 mg of sodium
Even if you split it with someone else, you would be over 2500 calories. Hardee’s, which I loved when I lived in the south, won’t sell what doesn’t have a market for. Also in the south, is Krystal which for some is basically White Castle.
They have small hamburgers which some call Sliders. I picked a Cheese Krystal which has;
- 180 calories
- 9 grams of fat
- 430 mg of sodium
So if the calorie count is the thing, why isn’t there a Jared for Krystal or White Castle. These are good portions but you think anyone just eats one? Where is the story and Chili’s?
