In all the years
we’ve been putting this list together, this pizza from Uno’s is the only item
to never budge from the hyper-caloric countdown. While a number of burgers,
salads, and pastas battle it out for the dubious distinction of being America’s
worst, there is simply no competition for this nightmarish creation. With a
day’s worth of calories, more than 2 days’ worth of sodium, and nearly 3 days’
worth of fat, bread, cheese, and sauce have never been stretched to such
extremes.

Worst Drink
Cold Stone Creamery PB&C Shake (Gotta Have It
size, 24 fl oz)
2,030
calories
131 g fat
(68 g saturated, 2.5 g trans)
153 g
sugars
A couple years ago,
Baskin-Robbins’ milk shake line could have easily claimed the top five worst
drinks in America, but when it decided to reel in some of the caloric excesses,
Cold Stone’s PB&C was left exposed as the biggest bully on the block. And
the damage is severe: This blended peanut-butter-cup concoction makes it
possible to slurp down a day’s worth of energy with a mere 10-minute straw
session. We hope Cold Stone decides to follow Baskins’ lead and downsize this
atrocity, but if not, we’re happy to keep doling out the negative publicity.

Worst Kids' Meal
California Pizza Kitchen Kids Curly Mac 'n' Cheese
1,038
calories
38 g saturated fat
1,651 mg sodium
38 g saturated fat
1,651 mg sodium
Pasta robed in melted
cheese will never pass muster with the nutritionist set; nevertheless, there
are some versions out there you can feel good about feeding your kid. Bob
Evans, TGI Friday’s, and even Burger King all serve reasonable versions of the
kiddie staple. CPK decidedly does not. This bowl represents about 70 percent of
the calories the average 6-year-old should consume in a day. What’s worse, it
delivers as much saturated fat as an adult should consume over the course of 48
hours. Good news is you can dissuade them from ordering the mac by suggesting
the pizza instead. We doubt they’ll object.

Worst Salad
TGI Friday's Santa Fe Chopped Salad
1,800
calories
Rumor has it that
Hollywood elite turn to the Friday’s salad section when it comes time to gain
weight for onscreen roles. Okay, that might be an exaggeration, but get too
cozy with these leaves and you can expect some dire repercussions. The average
entrée-size salad packs a walloping 1,216 calories, making it one of the most
dangerous sections of an already-disastrous menu. It comes as no surprise that
the Santa Fe emerges as the worst of this sad heap; Mexican- or
Southwestern-themed salads—with their abundance of shredded cheese, greasy
proteins, and tortilla chips—are the worst species of salad. If those are the
flavors you’re after, why not a crunchy taco from Taco Bell? You could have a
dozen for the same caloric cost.

The Worst Food in America
Cheesecake Factory Bistro Shrimp Pasta
2,727
calories
78 g saturated fat
1,737 mg sodium
78 g saturated fat
1,737 mg sodium
The troubling truth
is this entire list of America’s Worst Foods could be fueled solely by the
Cheesecake Factory’s atrocious fare. No restaurant combines elephantine portion
sizes with a heavy-handed application of cheap cooking fats more recklessly than
the Factory folk, resulting in dishes like the 2,582-calorie Chicken and
Biscuits and the 2,455-calorie French Toast Napoleon. But it’s a relatively
healthy-sounding plate of shrimp pasta that wears the tainted crown, delivering
to your bloodstream more saturated fat than you’d find in three packages of
Oscar Mayer Center Cut Bacon and as many carbs as you’d slurp down from 1½
cases of Amstel Light. Gross
