Food media The worst food in America
Posted by Besha Rodell @BeshaRodell on Tue, Nov 27, 2007 at 9:20 PM
Men's Health magazine has named the worst food in America in a recent article titled "The 20 Worst Foods in America." The article looks at the unhealthiest meals available at chain restaurants, rating them by calorie count and fat content. Once you start to get to the part where it says, "Downing this 'personal' pizza is equivalent to eating 18 slices of Domino's Crunchy Thin Crust cheese pizza," you begin to see the sheer masochism of eating this crap.
Anyway, the winner is ... Outback Steakhouse Aussie Cheese Fries with Ranch Dressing!! According to the article, the appetizer has 2,900 calories, 182 grams of fat and 240 grams of carbs.
For the record, I would like to say that they don't really have ranch dressing in Australia. Nor do they swear about their onions. Nor do they barbecue shrimp regularly. But that's for another post ...
