    If looking at those massive portions doesn't give people a clue, seeing astronomical calorie-count info written on menus will not either... very sad, but true.

    Once again the food police think no one has a brain...what would we do if they weren't around to tell us what not to eat.

    FYI, Red Robin does show their nutritional content. It's not easy to find but you can select an item and modify it (ie no mayo or cheese) to see how many calories, fat, etc. I ordered a turkey burger w/out mayo from their "Light" menu and was shocked at the fat content (that explains why it tasted so good). Nevertheless, having that info made me just have a salad for dinner that night.

    I think that the information provided about Burger King would depend on the restaurant. I happened to work in a Burger King that was very open about the food process, and the friers weren't shared for all the food stated. I think someone should pay closer attention to what's actually going on instead of grouping all the different restaurants together with such a bad image. Yes, the food is very fattening and it needs reform, but state the facts. Don't assume.
