'Xtreme Eating' losers announced by the Center for Science for the Public Interest

I can beat all of these bush-league "sinful" restaurant dishes with stuff I make in my own kitchen (and I do all the time!). I dig extreme food! WOOOHAAA!!

I love the Red Velvet Cheesecake! It combines my two favorite desserts into one. It's so GOOD! But I always share with 2-3 other people, because The Cheesecake Factory gives huge portions of food and I'm way too full to eat the whole thing.

I cant help it, what a colorful meal so appetizing

looks like yummy time to me!

Moderation is the main key of eating. The biggest thing to me about eating at most of these places is that I can't afford to eat there! Pure, plain and simple. I would love to try that milkshake someday! I eat alot at Ryan's Steakhouse, but I drink water and limit how much I eat. I love to eat breakfast at Waffle House, two eggs, wheat toast, hash browns, city ham and water. I'm satisfied, have plenty of energy.
Most of these items listed would be rare treats for me. Most people don't eat these foods everyday. I don't need or want somebody telling me what I should or shouldn't be eating. I can process information very well on my own. At the end of the day, it is all my choice.

I don't really care much for chain restaurants anyhow, but REALLY; is anyone going to order any of these items with the idea it's good for them? As long as you're normally eating a good diet, the occasional splurge on these things probably won't do much harm. Not like any of us are going to get out of this world alive, anyway and if I gotta go, I'd MUCH rather my last meal be the cheesecake or stuffed meatballs than oat chaff or barley bark, or whatever else the Orange Guy is in favor of.

ugh. none of those look appetizing except for maybe the cake...but I wouldn't be able to finish it.

"All things in moderation:" and...on occasion, moderation in moderation!!!! I'm hungry too!!!

Who would go to Denny's, Coldstone Creamery, IHOP or any place (espeically one that specializes in cheesecakes...) that makes and sells this type of food expecting anything less than a gastronomically excessive experience?

For God's sake, if you want to be healthy, eat at home most of the time and treat yourself to this type of food occasionally AS A TREAT.

Places like this are NOT responsible for kids and people being obese (despite the 'sarcasm' of the founding group's claims. Why should I blame a place for selling a 3/4 lb. piece of dessert? If I can't eat a third of it and take the rest home, that's my problem, not theirs...

god most of that looks so good!

The Farmhouse Burger and Provole stuffed meatballs look fantastic. The only reason not to order them is that you can make them at home, cheaper. *L*

These pictures make me vomit.

The article points out that the porterhouse steak weighs 24 ounces raw, no doubt in an attempt to underscore the "extreme" nature of the dish. Are the authors unaware that this is a steak on the bone????

Heart attack Special! Who actually eats this stuff on a regular basis?

All the snooty yuppies can just stay the hell away from Dennys if they aint like it!!!!!!!!!!

Okay it really is sad that people have to be reminded not to eat like this every day. That being said we are a free country and if some people want to eat like this, they can. Would I eat some of these things Heck No. But the cheesecake is mighty tempting. I think it is ok it to eat what you want, but why not split it with a friend or just know you are going to have to work you butt off on the tredmill. I find it scary if the powers that be are stepping in and banning certain things.

re: King fries What are the numbers for a SMALL portion with NO cheeze whiz and ranch dressing?? what are the numbers on that??? Oh, if you give THOSE #'s you no longer have a misleading, scare tactic article will you?? This is YELLOW, LYING journalism at its most dangerous and disgusting!! if i owned one of the operations mentioned in this crappy article, your lawyers would soon be earning their keep!!

If these health nuts would come up with some kind of palatable food, I'd try it... I'm just not a big fan of tofu and bean sprouts sprinkled with flax seed and who knows what else....

The only thing that looks good there is the Red Velvet Cheesecke.

high calorie foods are not dangerous. People stupid enough to eat large portions of one are dangerous. same with sodium, fats, etc.
