Every time I go out to eat on a Friday or Saturday night I swear Americans don't cook anymore. Because most restaurants I frequent are always packed!

Americans are also becoming more aware of the food they should or should not eat. When you think of fast food restaurants most people think fat and calories! But that's not necessaruily true!

David Zinczenko the author of the book " Eat This, Not That" stopped by the Today Show and rated the food at McDonald's, Red Lobster, Chik-fillet, and Chipoltle Grill. His conclusions may surprise you! It's not all bad news!
