Do you know what you’re eating – when you’re eating out at restaurants?
The Center for Science in the Public Interest has dished out which menu items
it thinks you should avoid at popular eateries – to save your arteries. The
agency considered the following before exposing these foods for all their
gastronomical glory: calorie content; fat; and depending on the item – sodium,
sugar, or both.
