Ok, so before my exercise science teacher showed me this presentation, I LOVED FAST FOOD! I am pretty sure I ate out atleast 3 or 4 or sometimes even 5 times a week! HUH... well even tho the following is somewhat depressing... IT'S A HUGE EYE OPENER! This was put out on YAHOO as the 20 worst foods in America. Mind you, the #1 worst food is probably one of mine and Chad's FAVORITE foods. So sad :( ENJOY!
P.S. Keep in mind that the AVERAGE ADULT is only supposed to consume 2200mg of sodium
A DAY!!
20. Worst Fast-Food Chicken Meal
Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips from McDonald's (5 pieces) with creamy ranch sauce
830 calories 55g fat (4. 5g trans fat) 48 g carbs
The only thing "premium" about these strips is the caloric price you pay. Add a large fries and regular soda and this seemingly innocuous chicken meal tops out at 1,710 calories.
19. Worst Drink
Jamba Juice Chocolate Moo'd Power Smoothie (30 fl oz)
900 calories10 g fat 183 g carbs (166 g sugar)
Jamba Juice calls it a smoothie; we call it a milk shake. In fact, this beverage contains more sugar than two pints of Ben and Jerry's Butter Pecan ice cream.
18. Worst Supermarket Meal 
Pepperidge Farm Roasted Chicken Pot Pie (whole pie)
1,020 calories 64 g fat 86 g carbs
The label may say this pie serves two, but who ever divided a small pot pie in half? Once you crack the crust, there will be no stopping.
17. Worst "Healthy" Burger
Ruby Tuesday Bella Turkey Burger
1,145 calories 71 g fat 56 g carbs
We chose this burger for more than its calorie payload: Its name implies that it's healthy.
16. Worst Mexican Entree 
Chipotle Mexican Grilled Chicken Burrito
1,179 calories 7 g fat 125 g carbs 2,656 mg sodium
Despite a reputation for using healthy, fresh ingredients, Chipotle's menu is limited to king-size burritos, overstuffed tacos, and gigantic salads—all of which lead to a humongous waistline.
15. Worst Kids' Meal
Macaroni Grill Double Macaroni 'n' Cheese
1,210 calories 62 g fat 3,450 mg sodium
It's like feeding your kid 1 1/2 boxes of Kraft mac 'n' cheese.
14. Worst Sandwich 
Quizno's Classic Italian (large)
1,490 calories 85 g fat 4,510 mg sodium 96 g carbs
A large homemade sandwich would more likely provide about 500 calories.
13. Worst Salad
On the Border Grande Taco Salad with Taco Beef
1,450 calories 102 g fat 78 g carbs 2,410 mg sodium
This isn't an anomaly: Five different On the Border salads on the menu contain more than 1,100 calories each.
12. Worst Burger 
Carl's Jr. Double Six Dollar Burger
1,520 calories 111 g fat
Carl's brags about this, but also provides convenient nutrition info on its Web site—so ignorance is no excuse for eating it.
11. Worst Steak
Lonestar 20 oz T-bone
1,540 calories 124 g fat
Add a baked potato and Lonestar's Signature Lettuce Wedge, and this is a 2,700-calorie blowout.
10. Worst Breakfast 
Bob Evans Caramel Banana Pecan Cream Stacked and Stuffed Hotcakes
1,540 calories 77 g fat (9 g trans fat) 198 g carbs(109 g sugar)
Five Egg McMuffins yield the same caloric cost as these sugar-stuffed flapjacks.
9. Worst Dessert 
Chili's Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream
1,600 calories 78 g fat 215 g carbs
Would you eat a Big Mac for dessert? How about three? That's the calorie equivalent of this decadent dish. Clearly, Chili's customers get their money's worth.
8. Worst Chinese Entree
P.F. Chang's Pork Lo Mein
1,820 calories 127 g fat 95 g carbs
The fat content in this dish alone provides more than 1,100 calories. And you'd have to eat almost five servings of pasta to match the number of carbohydrates it contains. Now, do you really need five servings of pasta?
7. Worst Chicken Entree 
Chili's Honey Chipotle Crispers with Chipotle Sauce
2,040 calories 99 g fat 240 g carbs
"Crispers" refers to an extra-thick layer of bread crumbs that soaks up oil and adds unnecessary calories and carbs to these glorified chicken strips.
6. Worst Fish Entree 
On the Border Dos XX Fish Tacos with Rice and Beans
2,100 calories 130 g fat 169 g carbs 4,750 mg sodium
Perhaps the most misleadingly named dish in America: A dozen crunchy tacos from Taco Bell will saddle you with fewer calories.
5. Worst Pizza 
Uno Chicago Grill Chicago Classic Deep Dish Pizza
2,310 calories 162 g fat 123 g carbs 4,470 mg sodium
Downing this "personal" pizza is equivalent to eating 18 slices of Domino's Crunchy Thin Crust cheese pizza.
4. Worst Pasta 
Macaroni Grill Spaghetti and Meatballs with Meat Sauce
2,430 calories 128 g fat 207 g carbs 5,290 mg sodium
This meal satisfies your calorie requirements for an entire day.
3. Worst Nachos 
On the Border Stacked Border Nachos
2,740 calories 166 g fat 191 g carbs 5,280 mg sodium
2. Worst Starter 
Chili's Awesome Blossom
2,710 calories 203 g fat 194 g carbs 6,360 mg sodium
1. The Worst Food in America 
Outback Steakhouse Aussie Cheese Fries with Ranch Dressing 2,900 calories 182 g fat 240 g carbs
Even if you split these "starters" with three friends, you'll have downed a dinner's worth of calories before your entrée arrives.
So there you have it... This is why i gained weight after high school :)
Next time you are hungry REMEMBER that restaurants want to make you FAT! ha ha
No really, just be aware of what you eat!

Olivia did not STOP eating the ENTIRE time.
After lunch we went shopping for a few hours. Olivia was not exactly a trooper. But it was a fun afternoon!
