En savoir plus sur le livre

In May 2001, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) made headlines with a significant pizza exposé on ABC's 20/20, similar to its previous studies on movie popcorn and take-out Chinese food. Dr. Michael F. Jacobson and his CSPI team provide a comprehensive analysis of sit-down meals, paralleling their successful Fast-Food Guide. With Americans consuming nearly one-third of their meals outside the home and spending $222 billion annually, the question arises: What's in this food? CSPI conducts thorough restaurant profiles, delivering straightforward scientific data on the fat, sodium, and calorie content of popular dishes. The information is categorized by cuisine type, covering major chains like The Olive Garden, Applebee's, and Outback. The book offers specific strategies for dining out, revealing startling facts such as a typical order of stuffed potato skins containing 1,260 calories and 48 grams of saturated fat. It includes a 10-point plan for making healthier choices and numerous tips for eating well while enjoying meals. The narrative is engaging, highlighting that a whole fried onion with dipping sauce contains an astonishing 163 grams of fat, and a Belgian waffle with toppings has more fat and calories than two sirloin steaks.
