Or the fat content of the McDonald's grilled chicken flatbread, which I'm told is tasty but I have never tried because the restaurant doesn't know how healthy it is. Search and ye shall find, although this took a few more clicks than normal through the McDonald's site, which has too much flash garbage. mcdonalds.com Hold the Cheese, I'd say. Ingredients also listed: mcdonalds.com I don't know about the Popeye's, though, do they serve spinach?

Oh, really? Have you tried? OK. I've never HEARD of Popeye's? He's a sailor with a spinach addiction, right? McDonald's used to provide nutritional analysis for all their menu items. It's possible they have added some they don't. I haven't been to one in a while. Most folks staffing those places don't even know what you're talking about when you ask. No surprise. It's a highly competitive business and they are minimum wage employees. You get what you pay for. Now, if this guy really thinks he's personally entitled to compensation for his bad habits, he's even dumber than the atheist with the Pledge issue. I got $100 that says when it's settled, he gets $$$.

NAS Panel: Only Safe Intake of Trans Fat is Zero CSPI Says Report Makes Case For Including Trans On Food Labels In 1994, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) petitioned the FDA to require that Nutrition Facts labels disclose trans fat. In 1999, the Food and Drug Administration proposed to require trans fat labeling, but delayed finalizing a regulation, in part, to consider a report from the National Academy of Science’s Institute of Medicine, which was released today. Following is a statement from CSPI Nutrition Policy Director Margo Wootan: “The National Academy of Sciences’ report is the first attempt by a panel of experts to set a safe intake level for trans fat. The panel found that, like saturated fat, trans fat promotes heart disease. Furthermore, the panel concluded that the only safe intake of trans fat is ‘zero.’ However, because it would be impractical to eliminate all trans fat from the diet, the panel recommended that people consume as little trans fat as possible. Yet it is currently impossible for consumers to follow the panel’s advice because the Food and Drug Administration does not require trans fat to be listed on Nutrition Facts food labels. “This report leaves the FDA with only one choice: It should require trans fat to be labeled on the same line as saturated fat, using the current Daily Value for saturated fat. That’s what the Canadian government has already proposed. To list trans fat on labels with no Daily Value would confuse the public because it would give consumers no clue that they should consume as little trans fat as possible, as the NAS recommended today.” cspinet.org
