<\/a><\/div>\n

According to the Center For Science In The Public Interest<\/b><\/i>, these are the worst of the worst of the worst. <\/span>

<\/span>
Not only should you not buy them … not only should you not eat them … you should keep them away from your loved ones!! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
Notice when you look at these that some of them would be just fine if you did not eat the WHOLE thing (like the burrito from Chipotle). <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
This is a huge limitation of their entire approach, in that they are SO over-focused on the molecule micromanagement that they miss the most important point: <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
All foods are bad if overconsumed. Don’t overconsume your foods. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Let me know your thoughts!!  <\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/h1>\n

\"Worst<\/h1>\n
\n
\n

1. Artery Crust<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Judging by the label, Marie Callender\u2019s (16.5 oz) Chicken Pot Pie<\/strong> has “only” 520 calories, 11 grams of saturated fat, and 800 mg of sodium. But look again. Those numbers are for only half a pie. Eat the entire pie, as most people probably do, and you\u2019re talking 1,040 calories, 22 grams of saturated fat (more than a day\u2019s worth), and 1,600 mg of sodium (an entire day\u2019s worth).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

2. Triple Bypass<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t decide what to pick from a restaurant menu? No worries. Now you can order not just one entr\u00e9e, but two\u2026 or three… all at once.Olive Garden\u2019s Tour of Italy<\/strong> \u2013 Homemade Lasagna, Lightly Breaded Chicken Parmigiana, and Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo \u2013 comes with 1,450 calories, 33 grams of saturated fat, and 3,830 milligrams of sodium. Add a breadstick (150 calories and 400 mg of sodium) and a plate of Garden-Fresh Salad with dressing (350 calories and 1,930 mg of sodium) and you\u2019ll consume almost 2,000 calories (an entire day\u2019s worth) and 6,160 mg<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

3. Salt’s On!<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On average, a cup ofCampbell\u2019s Condensed soup<\/strong> has 760 mg of sodium. That\u2019s half a day\u2019s worth \u2026 assuming you eat only one of the 2\u00bd servings that the label says the can makes. Campbell\u2019s Healthy Request and Select Harvest, Progresso Reduced Sodium, and Healthy Choice slash the sodium to the 400s. Look for lower sodium lines in the 100s to 300s by Amy\u2019s, Imagine Foods, Pacific Natural Foods, and Tabatchnick.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

4. Tortilla Terror<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Interested in a Chipotle Chicken Burrito<\/strong> (tortilla, rice, pinto beans, cheese, chicken, sour cream, and salsa)? Think of its 970 calories, and 18 grams of saturated fat as three 6-inch Subway BLT Classic Subs! Skipping the cheese or sour cream cuts the saturated fat to 6 grams, but you still end up with 750 calories and more than a day\u2019s worth of sodium. Yikes!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

5. Factory Reject<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

People don\u2019t expect light desserts at The Cheesecake Factory<\/strong>. But the Chocolate Tower Truffle Cake<\/strong> kicks things up a notch. If it weren\u2019t served on its side, this one would stand over six inches tall. And upright or not, the slab of cake still weighs in at three-quarters of a pound. What do you get for all that heft? Just 1,760 calories and 2\u00bd days\u2019 worth of saturated fat (50 grams), mostly from chocolate, sugar, cream, white flour, and butter.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

6. Burial Grands<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

No one thinks of cinnamon rolls as health food. But each Pillsbury Grands! Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll with Icing<\/strong> has 310 calories and 2 grams of saturated fat plus 2\u00bd grams of trans fat (more than a day\u2019s worth) and 5 teaspoons of sugar. Companies are dumping their partially hydrogenated oils left and right, yet Pillsbury still makes most of its rolls and biscuits with the stuff.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

7. Transgression<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cExcellent source of ALA Omega 3,\u201d declares the Land O\u2019Lakes Margarine<\/strong> box. Who knew that Land O\u2019Lakes stick margarine was so heart healthy? It isn\u2019t. Each tablespoon of the spread has 2\u00bd grams of trans fat (more than an entire day\u2019s limit) and 2 grams of saturated fat. And beware of other trans-filled sticks by Blue Bonnet, Parkay, Country Crock, and Fleischmann\u2019s. At least those brands don\u2019t imply that a bit of ALA outweighs the harm caused by the margarine\u2019s trans and saturated fat. Shopping tip: Look for tub margarines \u2013 most have little or no trans fat.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

8. Starbucks on Steroids<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Starbucks Venti (20 oz) White Chocolate Mocha<\/strong> with 2% milk and whipped cream is more than a mere cup of coffee. It\u2019s worse than a McDonald\u2019s Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Few people have room in their diets for the 580 calories and 15 grams of saturated fat that this hefty beverage supplies. But you can lose 130 calories and almost two-thirds of the bad fat if you order it with nonfat milk and no whipped cream.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

9. Extreme Ice Cream<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An average halfcup serving ofH\u00e4agen-Dazs ice cream<\/strong>squeezes half-a-day\u2019s saturated fat and a third-of-a-day\u2019s cholesterol into your artery walls and makes a nearly 300-calorie down-payment on your next set of fat cells \u2013 if you can stop at a petite half-cup!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

10. Stone Cold<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cold Stone Creamery\u2019s Oh Fudge! shake<\/strong>(chocolate ice cream, milk, and fudge syrup) starts at 1,250 calories for the \u201cLike It\u201d (16 oz) size. That\u2019s more than a large (32 oz) McDonald\u2019s McCafe Chocolate Triple Thick Shake. The \u201cLove It\u201d (20 oz) has 1,660 calories and the \u201cGotta Have It\u201d (24 oz) reaches 1,920 calories (just about an entire day’s worth) and 69 grams of saturated fat (3\u00bd days\u2019 worth). That’s the saturated fat content of two 16 oz T-bone steaks plus a buttered baked potato, all blended into a handy 24 oz cup.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
