'Nutrition Watchdog Praises Burger King, McDonald's'

No, that is not a misprint, and it's not April Fool's Day, either. The Center for Science in the Public Interest, scourge of Big Food and Big Alcohol, really did say this week that some of the best fast food on the market comes from BK and Mac's. Of course, what CSPI gives with one hand, it takes back with the other. The five worst foods on its good food/bad food share the Burger King menu with the Chicken Whopper Jr. sandwich and the meatless veggie burger, which it ranked as two of the best foods. In addition to McDonald's fruit and yogurt parfait, CSPI also praised Wendy's mandarin chicken salad and the low-fat subs at Subway. The five worst, in nutritional and economic terms, were BK's ice-cream shake, hash browns, french fries and Value Meals.
