Glad you enjoyed it! You make a good point about mom-and-pop restaurants, and that's where the issue gets really murky. At least for me. On the other hand, I feel that fast food chains are really just one step above processed food you might buy in a grocery store -- only it is freshly (sometimes) prepared and served by people. And if Amy's frozen dinners has to share their nutritional facts, shouldn't McDonalds? Mom & Pops spaghetti diner is another story, though. Hi Doreen -

Sure, they *may* have something akin to the Schroom pizza, but I don't think I'm ordering it. For people who are watching their weight, or for those who ought to, it doesn't hurt to be more informed about what one is eating, especially when a deceptively healthy item turns out to be rather unhealthy, like Dunkin' Donuts' muffins vs doughnuts. I'm reminded of the salads at fast food restaurants that start out like a good idea... until someone adds some heavy dressing, which negates the good food choice completely. Thanks for the article!
