Brace Yourself…A Peek at the 20 Worst Foods in America

by Liberty on May 8th, 2008

While researching post ideas today, I got caught in the killer vortex that is the World Wide Web. Link after link, interesting article after interesting article. And here I wanted to hit the hay early. *Sigh*

Anyway, though my travels were fun, my final resting spot for the evening was a real eye-opener. Because sadly, dear readers, I happened upon the Men’s Health list of 20 Worst Foods in America. The worst part? Some of my favorites (and I’ll bet, yours) were on there.

Categories were set up for entries like worst fast food chicken, worst drink, worst kids meal, worst steak, dessert, Chinese food, pasta, nachos and more. And of course, the creme de la creme, the absolute all-around worst food in America (which I am happy to report I have never consumed. Phew. Just reading about it made me feel guilty!)

So since we’re only a day away from the weekend, give this list a look before heading out to eat on Saturday. Just keep in mind that your trips to Macaroni Grill, Jamba Juice, Outback Steakhouse and a myriad of other places may never be the same ever again. Sorry.

Just a sampling…

Worst Fast Food Chicken: Mc Donald’s Chicken Selects with Ranch Sauce

Worst ‘Healthy’ Burger: Ruby Tuesday Bella Turkey Burger

Worst Dessert: Chili’s Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream

Worst Fish Entree: On the Border Dos XX Fish Tacos with Beans and Rice

Worst Starter: Chili’s Awesome Blossom

Don’t forget to check out the list in its entirety (and to eat an apple before you go out!)
