Today the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) released its Xtreme Eating Award list. According to the CSPI "Xtreme appetizers, entrées, and desserts at America's chain restaurants are making Americans fatter and sicker, and the trendy thing for chains to do is to make already bad foods even worse."
Come on now? Making fun of delicious, calorie packed foods by giving them fake awards? Now, below are the options for todays Crosschips. The link can be found here.
