Food crimes
This month's issue of Women's Health magazine features a comical spin on some serious food crimes we all commit -- knowingly or otherwise -- from time to time.As part of a sidebar article, they list four popular food chains and a menu item from each that requires a stiff fitness sentence to repay your health debt to society.
PANERA BREAD - Crime: Somkehouse Turkey on focaccia = 800 calories ... Sentence: 120 minutes of race walking
COSI - Crime: Caesar salad with grilled chicken = 942 calories ... Sentence: 60 minutes of running 10-minute miles
JAMBA JUICE - Crime: 24oz Strawberry Wild smoothie = 400 calories ... Sentence: 45 minutes of biking
STARBUCKS - Crime: Grande latte plus an oat and fruit scone = 530 calories ... Sentence: 5.5. hours of light office work
As the article states, now that you're armed with this knowledge, you can't plead ignorance anymore!! Court adjourned.

Hey Chris,
I've been following your posts for several now (commenting on numerous occasions) and want to say that you bring a ton of valuable diet and fitness information.
Your combination of science backed claims and experienced viewpoints are much appreciated.
I am the author of a book that I know you will appreciate. It's called Eating for Energy. I'd be happy to send you a digital copy for you to enjoy!
Let me know and I'll send it your way Chris.
