It's hard to avoid eating a fast food places no matter how we try, isn't it. Here's some info I thought was intersting:

A recent poll of 523 Californians showed just how difficult it can be to judge the calories, etc in fast foods. The poll, commissioned by the California Center for Public Health Advocacy, asked respondents to identify nutrition-related information -- fewest calories, least salt, most fat or the most calories -- among choices at four popular restaurant chains. Not one respondent answered all four questions correctly.

For example, one question asked which of these four options at McDonald's had the most calories: two Big Macs, two Egg McMuffins, one large chocolate shake, or four regular hamburgers? The correct answer -- the chocolate shake -- was given by only 11 percent of the respondents.

To be fair, McDonald’s 32-ounce Triple-Thick Chocolate Shake has only 30 more calories than two Big Macs (1,110 compared with 1,080), and 53 percent of the respondents chose Big Macs as the highest calorie option. But still, 68 percent of the respondents got every question wrong. (Try your luck on the other questions, online at http://www.publichealthadvocacy.org/menulabelingquiz.p

In all fairness, per McDonald's website, it's a 32 OZ chocolate triple shake that has that many calories. That's not a "large" shake, that's a HUGE shake, lol

What a cool link!
