The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) would like you to meet the new "health food," containing two days' worth of saturated fat in a single serving. New chain restaurants, including the new "Fresh Mex" chains such as Chipotle (owned by McDonald's), Baja Fresh (owned by Wendy's), Rubio's, and La Salsa, sometimes have healthy food alternatives, but they frequently are peddling themselves as being healthier than they really are.
From the original article:
"Baja's Nachos are even worse. With a day's worth of calories (2,000) and sodium (2,890), and with two days' worth (39 grams) of saturated fat, the average order of nachos (made with steak, chicken, or just cheese) is worse than four Quarter Pounders."
