Technology Is Ruining My Life
Well, not really. But I do feel I'm being robbed of certain joys by the sinister combination of the ease of Google search and my own morbid curiosity about the nutritional information of foods I enjoy. I've just had my suspicions confirmed that cola consumption is linked to osteoporosis, and my feeble hopes dashed in the part that says this holds even when one drinks plenty of milk. And to Sam's dismay, I searched for nutritional information on his favorite restaurant earlier this week, and made some shocking discoveries.
Malted chocolate milkshake: 1000 calories, 30 g. fat.
Burger with fries: 1200 calories, 66 g. fat.
Crispy chicken salad with fries: 1700 calories, 104 g. fat.
Cracker Barrel doesn't even publish their nutritional information. They just flatly refuse, so you know it can't be good.

I am cracking up. I just started doing this recently too. All I can say is it ruined margaritas for me.
I felt like I did in college (a little late to the game) when I found out that cheese was fattening.
How depressing that the chicken salad is the most fattening.
Maura, that's hilarious. It reminds me of when someone I knew suffered a minor heart "incident" and radically changed his diet. He said, "You wouldn't believe how much fat is in ice cream!"
Julie: I agree. You should need a license to serve someone 104 g. of fat at a time.
Tara,
