Subject: CPKI went to California Pizza Kitchen for lunch, a place I never go. Their menu has the calorie content of all of their offered items, which I think is a very good idea. The problem was that I was absolutely horrified at how high the calorie content of EVERYTHING was. I had a grilled vegetable salad with chicken and this was over 700 calories. I am still in shock. I cannot even imagine how it got up to over 700 calories, but they certainly wouldn't inflate the count. This may be the last restaurant meal of my life. I also went to the website to get the rest of the nutritional information, thinking that might shed some insight into how or why the calories were so high, but even there, all you get is calorie count. Does any other restaurant offer calorie counts or other nutritional information? Do you think that by offering this information that it greatly affects food choices? (It certainly did for me!!! ) |
