Lists nutritional information for the complete menus of each major fast food chain, and recommends the most healthful choices
Unusual, intelligently written . . . the best available guide.
So wrote The Los Angeles Times when THE FAST-FOOD GUIDE first appeared in 1986. Now thoroughly revised and updated-featuring the good news as well as the bad, here is the most complete, detailed nutrition information available on all the major fast-food chains and their offerings, making it more than ever the essential guide for people who care about their kids, their waistlines, and their arteries. Because even in the enlightened era of the low-fat hamburger and frying in vegetable shortening, there is still a salad out their offering 905 calories and 14 teaspoons of fat, and a seafood sandwich laden with 2,612 milligrams of sodium. And that's not your way.
Michael Jacobson and the Center for Science in the Public Interest have been at the forefront of the fast-food reform movement, campaigning for healthier preparation of food and for labels that tell consumers what they are eating.
