Xtreme Eating Awards

When I saw the title of this article I just about fell out of my chair in glee, but insteatd of something promoting our Crosschips culture, I found this garbage;
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.

Todays Crosschips: Pick 3 for your Crosschips meal!

-Olive Garden Tour of Italy : 1,450 calories and 33 grams of saturated fat (thanks to the beef, Italian sausage, cheese, cream, and breading) that’s swimming in 3,830 milligrams of sodium.
-Chili’s Big Mouth Bites : 1,580 calories and 28 grams of saturated
fat (1½ days’ worth), plus 2,930 milligrams of sodium (a two-day supply).
-The Cheesecake Factory Fried Macaroni and Cheese : 1,570
calories and 1,860 milligrams of sodium. But that’s ho-hum for appetizers these days. It’s the 69 grams of saturated fat—3½ days’ worth—that sets this dish apart.
-Red Lobster Ultimate Fondue : 1,490 calories, 40 grams of sat fat, and 3,580 mg of sodium. (Add 150 calories for each of the free Cheddar Bay Biscuits on your table.)
