Worst Foods in America!!

Msnbc.com posted some of the worst foods in America recently. It was shocking to discover how bad these foods were and how many calories they contained.

1. The worst fast food chicken meal was McDonald's Chicken Selects at 830 calories.
2. The worst kid's meal was Macaroni Grill's Double Macaroni 'N'  Cheese at 1,210 calories.
3. The worst food in America was Outback's cheese fries at 2,900 calories. 
 
More helpful knowledge:
  A chicken caesar salad contains 900 calories and a granola bar contains 200 calories. 

Actually seeing these hard facts is eye-opening. I cannot believe how bad these foods are for your health. Also I can't believe a restaurant would serve a kid's meal that contains 1,210 calories to a child. That is irresponsible and a factor in childhood obesity today. Everyone eats poorly at some point in their lives, but at some point we all have to take responsibility for our own health and well being and make a conscious effort to change.
