The 20 Worst Foods in America

I've got a Google Alert that notifies me of news articles that include the words "5280" and "magazine." It's an easy way to keep up with coverage of the magazine, but sometimes it does produce unpredictable results, such as this report from an Atlanta TV station on "The 20 Worst Foods in America." By "worst," they mean "unhealthiest." And, boy, are there some whoppers (pun intended). Because many are from chains that operate in Denver, I'll pass along the link, including the "appetizer" that triggered my alert:
Worst nachos: On the Border Stacked Border Nachos -- 2,740 calories 166 g fat, 191 g carbs 5,280 mg sodium. Your arteries begin to harden as you look at the plate.

"Worst Mexican entrée: Chipotle Mexican Grill Chicken Burrito -- 1,179 calories 47 g fat, 125 g carbs." Oh man. That explains everything.
