Title
The Worst American Fast Food
Description
<a href="http://www.menshealth.com/eatthis/20-Worst-Foods-2009/1_The_Worst_Food_in_America_of_2009.php" source="Men's Health" author="">The 20 Worst Foods in America 2009</a> catalogs exactly that. The listings are nearly unbelievable, especially the number one entry. It is the <i>Baskin Robbins Large Chocolate Oreo Shake</i>, which boasts the following characteristics:
<ul>
2,600 calories
135 g fat (59 g saturated fat, 2.5 g trans fats)
263 g sugars
1,700 mg sodium
73 ingredients (or more)
</ul>
That's a whole day's worth of calories and three days' worth of fat in a container that can be slurped empty in less than ten minutes. Not that 263g is equal to over half a pound. That's more than half a pound of sugar in your shake.
There are other standouts, but nothing that approaches the shake for sheer awfulness. The pizza, <i>Uno Chicago Grill Chicago Classic Deep Dish Pizza</i> also has a day's worth of calories:
<ul>
2,310 calories
162 g fat
123 g carbohydrates
4,470 mg sodium
</ul>
Check out the sodium; Almost two days worth in one pizza! The worst burger, <i>Chili’s Smokehouse Bacon Triple-The-Cheese Big Mouth Burger with Jalapeno Ranch Dressing</i>, has almost the exact same characteristics:
<ul>
2,040 calories
150 g fat (53 g saturated)
110 g protein
4,900 mg sodium
</ul>
A rule-of-thumb one can glean from the "foods" above is to avoid any entrée that has more than two or three words in its name.
