Extreme eating - 2000 calories an appetizer

Chain restaurants in the United States are promoting dangerous "X-treme Eating", a US watchdog has said.



They are serving up "ever-more harmful new creations," says the Center for Science in the Public Interest. BBC

I guess we just don't get it - as a society I mean. 60 million adults are obese in the US and yet some restaurant chains celebrate and encourage extreme eating.

"...par for the course at Ruby Tuesday, On the Border, the Cheesecake Factory, and countless other top table-service chain restaurants. But since those chains make almost zero nutrition information available on menus, their customers don�t have a clue that they might be getting a whole day�s worth of calories in a single dish, or several days� worth in the whole meal."
