The Surprising No. 1 Drive-Thru Restaurant [Netscape] Dashboard Dining: How to Eat Fast Food and Lose Weight [Netscape] What to Eat Instead of Fast Food [WebMD] Healthier Fast Food Choices [Health Check Systems] Someone Found WHAT in Wendy's Chili?! [Truth or Fiction]     Alarming Warning for Fast Food Lovers [Netscape Community]

While most fast food chains have added "healthy" or "light" items to their menus over the past couple of years, an opposite trend can also be observed: many of them are also producing new menu choices with a record high amount of calories, fat and sodium. These companies defend the availability of these unhealthy items by saying they "meet an important demand."

Don't get sucked in. You'll be putting yourself at risk for obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and many more unsightly diseases, many of which can kill you. In an effort to help you make decent fast food choices, I have picked some of the worst fast foods on the market and provided all the essential nutritional information.

If grams of fat and calories mean nothing to you, use these numbers as a guide.
