I think if a fast food menu item weighs
more than your shoes, there's a good chance you shouldn't put it in your mouth.
You keep hearing
the bad news about obesity.
Here are three of the reasons for it:
At Kentucky Fried
Chicken, the 10-piece bag of Original
Recipe Chicken Bites -- 1,300 calories.
At McDonald's , the Big Breakfast with
syrup and margarine -- 1,350 calories.
At Wendy's, try Dave’s Hot ‘N Juicy, the 3/4 lb. triple patty with cheese -- 1,120
calories.
Roughly speaking, the USDA says the
average sedentary American in his or her 40s needs about 1,800 calories
(ladies) per day, or 2,300 calories (gents) per day.
And about 80% of Americans don't get the
minimum recommended exercise, so "sedentary" describes most folks.
So it's not too hard to figure out that
getting more than half of your daily recommended calories from one menu item at
your favorite fast food joint is an easy way keep the pounds on.
Mayor Bloomberg was on the right track
when he tried to outlaw the 128-ounce Big Super Mega Giant Gulp drinks….
I think if a menu item weighs more than
your shoes, there's a good chance you shouldn't put it in your mouth.
