I just don't think that people really care ... sadly. Here are three great books to read though that I found very informative on some of these issues (from an early jawa post). http://not-my.blogspot.com/2006/07/inaugural-book-review-food-trifecta.html I’ve done a lot of reading about health and nutrition when I was more on my kick of getting fit (working hard to get back on that horse BTW).

Nothing like a visual to drive the point home. I am guilty of taking the kids through the drive-through too often. My kids aren't overweight but what happens when they grow up and have to deal with a lifetime of bad habits? The implications are sobering.

They also should list the % daily requirement of salt (sodium) in their meals--it would likely exceed 100%! The size of today's combo meals is astounding! Being on the road, I sometimes eat fast food, and I have to argue with the counter person when I ask for a simple cheeseburger--no fries--and a small soft drink!
