    Food is only as bad as you make it.

    "Arby's Sausage Gravy Biscuit...The problem with this biscuit is that you’re consuming a heart-stopping level of sodium and almost no potassium."

    No. The problem with this biscuit is that it looks as though somebody threw up condensed milk all over it. What is this thing?

    When a ham and cheese croissant is considered the healthier option, you know you're in the heart attack zone.

    OMG, that kids meal with the dinosaur shaped nuggets, what the heck!!! Who would feed that to their children??? That was gross. Nothing else was really too surprising, but it does sorta piss me off that Quizno's has to jack up a tuna sandwhich like that, I mean, I like a little mayo with my tuna, not a little tuna with my mayo, sad....

    I thankfully have never had any of those, however, I have had similar items over the years. It is amazing how the calories sneak in. Easy modifications like a half bun or no bun can help take down a lot of the calories. Its all about moderation in the end. :happy:

    There's nothing inherently bad with anything on that list. Stop food shaming and demonizing.

    Carl’s Jr. Six Dollar Guacamole Bacon Burger with Medium Natural Cut Fries and 32-oz Coke
    1,750 calories
    93 g fat (28 g saturated, 1.5 g trans)
    3,175 mg sodium
    Of all the gut-growing, heart-threatening, life-shortening burgers in the drive-thru world, there is none whose damage to your general well-being is as potentially catastrophic as this. A bit of perspective is in order: This meal has the caloric equivalent of 9 Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnuts, the saturated fat equivalent of 30 strips of bacon, and the salt equivalent of 10 large orders of McDonald’s French fries!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    mmmm... donuts... bacon.. so .. if i read this right.. I can eat 15 strips of bacon and 5 krispy creme donuts ... *heading to the supermarket*


    oh yea.. and
    mmmmmmmmm Cinnabon.. mmmmm.. now i wanta cinnabon..

    The burger by itself is 1030 calories. I would totally eat that for a treat once in a while.

    1,750 calories... ಠ_ಠ How is that even possible...
    DmnaD7U.jpg

    I dont care what anyone says.... hating on coldstone is sacrilege
    The problem is the massive size of that drink. Over a quart! And there is an unnecessary amount of added sugar.
    How dare they blaspheme baby back ribs..... Nonsense I tell you


    I also like how they only really look at sodium, fat, sugar and total calories and then they make suggestions for substitutions that are no where near comparable in size... Dont have that large meat lovers pizza instead have an almond..

    This. I like how they suggest substituting a Chocolate Pudding Pie with beef jerky. If I am in the mood for something sweet like a pudding pie, why on earth would I substitute it with beef jerky?
    It is comparing gas station convenience food, not sweet treats.

    Does anyone really need an entire deep dish pizza for themselves? And if they tried to compare every nutrient, it would be inelegant and confusing to read.

    This made me giggle.

    From the article:

    "Researchers have found that men are turned on by the smell of cinnamon rolls, and further studies have shown that men are more likely to spend money when they’re thinking about sex."

    Who knew? Girl's gotta ask...true? false?

    So, they're saying that instead of having a 12" veggie sub for 1180 cals, 59g fat, and 131g carbs, you should get the 6" of a different veggie sub for 530 cals, 22g fat, and 52g carbs. If you really wanted the first one and would be happy with a 6", why not just get the 6" version of it for 590 cals, 29.5g fat, and 65.5 carbs? Maths. Basically they're telling us that half a sub has fewer calories, fat, and carbs than a whole sub. Wow. Such innovative thinking.

    I have. And they've also had the mac & cheese at Uno's which I think is even higher in calories as I remember. It's a treat. We eat 90% of our meals at home, always with vegetables. But I guess "feeding that to my children" makes my a shtty parent in your book.

    I have made my own deep dish pizza from scratch. I'm still working on perfecting the crust recipe, it's just not soft and fluffy enough. The way deep dish pizza works is that the crust is basically a bowl full of cheese, toppings, and covered in pizza sauce. I am able to fit over half as much cheese on to a deep dish pizza as I can fit on a thinner standard crust that fills a cookie sheet. The deep dish pizzas have a diameter of nine inches.

    I'm glad someone else noticed them doing that! Like for the pizza option, they said "the individual deep dish pizza is bad, so eat HALF a flatbread pizza. I'm sure HALF a deep dish pizza is better than a whole one, too.

    Phew! Luckily I haven't eaten any of this stuff (although am a former cold-stone addict). I'm sure any of these are fine as a once in a while treat, but personally I think I'd feel like crap if I ate any of it.
