At Dairy Queen

Chicken Strip Basket (6-piece with Country Gravy)
1,640 calories
74 g fat (12 g saturated, 1 g trans)
3,690 mg sodium
 
This basket embodies everything wrong with America's eating habits. Dairy Queen has taken an already unhealthy meal of deep-fried chicken strips and French fries and made it worse by adding Texas Toast and a side of gravy. Never mind that this meal takes up almost 80% of your daily calories or that it far surpasses your day's sodium. Heck, you could eat two large Butterfinger Blizzards and almost equals the fat load of this meal.
 
Bonus tip: What is “Texas Toast” anyway? Restaurants are adding pounds to our waistlines with fat- and calorie-filled Frankenfoods. Here, some scary examples: The 10 Worst Food Creations of 2010.
