What?

Chad and I were contemplating heading over to Chili's to grab a bite to eat. I popped onto their website to check out their menu and see if there was something I could eat that wouldn't be too unhealthy.

Hmmm...the Mesquite Chicken Salad looks good.

I popped over to the nutritional information:

1010 Calories, 63 g Fat, 2830 mg Sodium

Oh. My. God. Glancing at the rest of the "fun" salads, I realized this was not an exception, but rather, the norm. You'd be better off ordering a cheeseburger which only has 850 calories, 48 g fat and 1580 mg sodium.

Looking at the rest of menu, there are a few healthier options, but still, it's no wonder the national obesity rate is so high.

Needless to say, we ended up eating at home.
