I had heard about this book for a while, but never really got around to looking at it until recently. There are many versions of it, I liked the first one which had to do mostly with restaurants and this version, which deals with super markets. The whole strategy of the book is to help you lose weight, not by radical diet / radical exercise (like Im doing), but educate you and the types of foods being offered and why some alternatives are much better than others. It gives alternatives to the things you like, helping you save 200-500 calories in a meal, just by getting different things. It would be impossible to try to remember every little detail of what is better than what, however, it will at least teach you if you are eating something wrong, and how you can improve your diet..
2 Quick Facts:
The “most healthy” fast food restaurant, and the only one to get an A+? Chick-Fil-A (No sandwiches on their list exceeded 500 calories. It was the only fast food restaurant that accomplished this.
The “Worst” as in most unhealthy restaurant food you can get in America: “Cheesy Bacon Fries From Outback” a whopping 3000 calories (and that doesnt include the steak/rest of the meal you are getting either!

I love me some Chick-Fil-A…I just wish their shakes weren’t so full of calories… Thanks for sharing this, I have a coworker who would love to read this…and so would I! 🙂
Yesterday I bought the DVD "FOOD, inc" . I think everybody should see it. I stop eating meat 3 years ago after I saw how bad a cow was beaten just because she could not get on her feet and walk. It is funny in a way that I tried several times to became a vegetarian and could not pass the one month mark and when I saw what happen to the cow I just told my self: "Luis you can not buy anything from this companies any more" , and that was it! Never tried meat again after that. Sorry about this comment that is not related to photography at all …. but maybe it is because right after that I bought my fisrt Canon Rebel XT with the money I was saving from burgers!.
We have this book "for kids". Very useful! Sadley my subway sandwhich wasn’t as healthy as I’d hoped:(
