Now This Is Funny

In an effort to stay healthy and lose weight many people might be surprised by this.

McDonald's Salad Has More Fat Than Cheeseburger

 "You can choose your salad, topping and dressing. You can mix and match to suit your diet and lifestyle," said a McDonald's spokeswoman. However, consumers hoping to lose weight by switching from burgers to salads may be disappointed, according to the Interactive Nutrition Counter on the McDonald's Web site. For example, on the new menu to be launched at the end of this month, a "Caesar salad with Chicken Premiere" contains 18.4 grams of fat compared with 11.5 grams of fat in a standard cheeseburger.

time for a burger, I believe that. By time you get done with the meat, bacon bits, croutons and dressing it is very fattening.
