These healthy food blogs are fantastic. My wife and I have been doing a huge cleaning up of our diet. Not that we ate fast food much before, but now we never eat it. Knowledge is power.

Fast food is bad food. That’s pretty much common knowledge these days. The majority of the foods served at fast food restaurants contain an insane amount of calories, tons of fat (including the very evil trans fat), and are high in pretty much everything else that you’d want your food to be low in. Long story short, it’s the kind of food you want to avoid eating.

But, you probably know this already. The funny thing is, most of the world doesn’t seem to care. The fast food restaurants continue to do just fine because people continue to eat their unhealthy food. So I figured, if you are still going to eat this junk, you might as well at least know which is the best of the worst, and which is the worst of the worst.

To show this, I’ve compared the nutrition facts of the most popular foods from over 20 popular fast food restaurants to see how each restaurant’s version of the same food stacks up against the others. If this isn’t enough to convince you to eat less (or none) of this stuff, it will at least give you the information you need to make the better choice and avoid making the worst one. Enjoy…

there is so much more from www.acaloriecounter.com that is essential. I would add it to your RSS feeds. While your at it, check out the Covert Vegetable which just launched this month.

Suck UK is at it again, this time bringing us MyCuppa Mugs that have a coloring guide on the inside rim to ensure the proper ratio of coffee/tea to milk. They cost about $15, and are a must if you work with the coffee brewing idiots that I do. Every time I scream at someone to make my damn coffee it’s never the right color and almost always tastes like urine.

“We’re not fans of hiking—obviously—but this Picnic For One design would be the thing we’d take with us if we were hiking. The container is waterproof and skinnable (in case you don’t like military grey), and contains a plate, a cup, cutlery and room for spices. Plus, you know, food. So after you finish up your picnic for one, you can neatly pack everything back into the container before your throw yourself off the cliff because you’ve got nobody to go hiking with you.”  from gizmodo
