High-cal foods at sit-down restaurants

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Yaktivism

And you thought you were doing well by avoiding McDonalds? Marketplace did an excellent piece about the calorie counts of foods served at the major chains. It’s about 25 minutes long, but it’s totally worth watching if you want to (a) make informed choices when you eat out, and (b) watch Restaurant Association Dude totally lose out to Wendy Mesley. God she’s good.

I love the idea of a menu that lists calories and sodium, don’t you?

That was excellent. The Restaurant Association Dude reminded me of all politicians!

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). During the day I work as a writer at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
