Forget the burger and fries clogging your arteries. The "Big Catch" fish platter at Long John Silver's is being called the "Worst Restaurant Meal in America." The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy group, says the dish has more than 1300 calories, 33 grams of trans fats and 3700 milligrams of sodium.

I buy those same frozen fish filets at Walmart and cook them in the oven. Much fewer calories and less fat, and less mess, too. I also bake the fries.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest...

Stopped reading right there. They're a bunch of vegans pretending to be a paragons of public health, kind of like the AARP is for the all retired, and NAACP is for all blacks.

...a 2006 CSPI lawsuit forced the chicken restaurant to stop using partially hydrogenated oil--which gives fried food its trans fat yummy taste.

CSPI is a leftwing group started by Ralph Nader

There is no “science” involved, just leftists

I find their fries to be terrible, but I do like their fish especially with malt vinegar. The chicken planks have also always been a favorite.

Regardless of CSPI’s agenda, the nutrition facts are what they are. We make faux fast-food at home to save money!

Tom just wrote a paper advocating higher taxation of food like this, because there was data to use in defending this position, while the libertarian view is mostly philosophical. His teacher’s probably a Democrat, anyway, and will eat up the reference to Michelle Obama’s exercise drive and “leaders such as Mayor Bloomberg.”

The best part are the little bits of fried stuff in the bottom and the hush puppies. Cole slaw is okay.
