Disgusting! Thank you for publishing things that we have to know.
Thank you very much. An eye opener with common sense. I stopped going to restaurants for quite some time know this doesn’t mean I’ll never go to one again just not making a habit of going to one and then I pay attention of what they have and remember your good points in healthy nutrition !!
Shalom
Wooo good recommend
This is a wonderful article that makes us aware of good choices when dining at a favorite restaurant.
Never knew we were eating so much crap, THANK YOU
Actually, ordering a popular menu item is safer, since it’s a fast mover and NOT sitting around in the kitchen. Ordering a non-popular item…cook’s will say things like “finally getting rid of that ” ….”it’s about time, that’s finally gone”…”was going to toss that if it didn’t sell tonight”.
Stick with the items that sell the most.
Not so. Ever worked in a restaurant? Didn’t think so….
Thank You I don’t eat most of those items listed. I don’t trust restaurant food . UGH !!!
One thing that really needs to be emphasized are Kobe and Piedmontese beef. It’s gotten better because there is now a ratings system, but there isn’t a USDA mandate on the actual amount of either that is listed on a menu or a retail sale. It could contain 5% Piedmontese and the rest is something else, but it doesn’t have to be declared.
I think the real answer is to make your meals at home and probably grow your own food. The world has become a very unclean place and we are now experiencing the consequences of that.
And yet the life expectancy of humans has grown 2.5 times in 100 years!
