Healthy (or Unhealthy) Food Post

This is a brief post about two pieces I have read over the last couple of weeks and it clicked in my head that they go together well. The first was one I linked to in a previous blog. The reading is titled 11 Scary Fast Food Breakfasts. Here is information on one of the items they highlight.

"Carl’s Jr Breakfast BurgerYes, I’m afraid you read that right, “breakfast” and “burger” in the same menu item. How do you turn a regular burger into a breakfast burger? By adding not only an egg–but an egg, bacon, American cheese and hash brown nuggets too!"

The other reading that I am posting about is titled The Worst Chips and Dips. Just as a teaser, I will say that even though I rarely (less than once a year) eat Pringles but they are only about 42% potato!!!

"This glowing orange goop is pure junk. If you have a taste for cheese, save your calories for the real thing. We're especially fond of Tostitos Salsa Con Queso Medium. With the nutritional perks of tomatoes and peppers, salsa con queso beats straight cheese dip every time. Plus, you can eat twice as much for the same caloric punch (not that you should, of course!)."
