Mmm, 2,000 Calories, 100 Grams of Fat, 3000 Milligrams of Sodium

The Center for Science in the Public Interest has published a list of "X-treme" meals. I agree that they could have just spelled the word normally. Anyway, they list some menu items from some popular restaurants that have failed thus far to provide nutrition information on their own. I guess they're waiting for the government to make them do it. Isn't that nice? [Cough cough, sarcasm]

We have aimed at Cheesecake Factory before, and they get a spot on this list as well. CSPI makes it clear why we're the fattest country on Earth; listing appetizers, entrees and desserts that carry a whole day's worth of calories, fat and sodium on their own. Here's CSPI's article.

I am reluctant to include the slide show from MSN Health & Fitness since the foods all look so delicious, but here it is.
