About this item
Did you know that choosing one fast-food milk shake over another can save you 2,000 calories? That's right. The difference is an entire day's worth of calories. Make a swap like that once a week and you'll save nearly 30 pounds in one year. And that's just the beginning. Eat This Not That! The Best (& Worst!) Foods in America! is the culmination of years of dedicated food-industry coverage. It's also the most comprehensive list of the country's most dangerous food items - the burgers, salads, pizzas, and beers that can single handedly sabotage an otherwise healthy diet. Do you know which popular restaurant is selling a cocktail with nearly 900 calories? How about the cafe that sells a doughnut with more sugar than two candy bars? Read this book and you'll discover the food industry's biggest secrets, and you'll never approach a restaurant menu the same way again.
