Chain restaurants charged with promoting X-treme Eating
14 WFIE, The Tri-State’s News Leader: Chain restaurants charged with promoting “X-treme Eating”
Some of the “X-Treme Eating” options highlighted in the March issue of CSPI’s Nutrition Action Health Letter include: Ruby Tuesday’s “Colossal Burger.” Ruby Tuesday actually became the first big chain to put nutrition information on its menus. Unfortunately, it scrapped that initiative, presumably because it meant the sale of fewer Colossal Burgers. With 1,940 calories and 141 grams of fat - more than two days’ worth! One of these megaburgers is equivalent to about five McDonald’s Quarter Pounders.
