Unhealthy Restaurant Dishes

Group unveils list of most unhealthy restaurant dishes.
NBC Nightly News (5/25, story 8, 2:30, Williams) reported, "There are certain things we like to eat, we eat them knowing they are not great for us. And then about once a year a group comes along to warn us all and tell us exactly what's in what we're eating. Well, it's that time of year. This year with about 1/3 of the American population classified as obese, the so-called extreme eating awards take on a new urgency."
ABC World News (5/25, story 7, 1:40, Sawyer) reported that "in America, where two of three adults are already considered overweight or obese, a new wakeup call tonight" about a "list of restaurant dishes that simply top the charts." ABC (De Nies) added, "They're big sellers at top food chains across the country, loaded with hidden fat, salt and sugar."
The Los Angeles Times (5/26, Stein) reports that "the Center for Science in the Public Interest has come out with its Xtreme Eating awards, giving dubious honors to restaurant fare that maxes out on fat and calories." The Times adds, "Among the winners (or should that be losers?) is the pasta carbonara at Cheesecake Factory; when served with chicken this dish comes in at 2,500 calories and 85 grams of saturated fat. Also on the list is the New Zealand rack of lamb at Outback Steakhouse. The lamb alone (no sides) is 1,300 calories and 60 grams of saturated fat, plus 1,340 milligrams of sodium (recommended daily allowance of sodium is from 2,400 milligrams for a healthy adult, although some health experts think it should be far lower)."
