The packet of Thousand Island dressing that comes with a McDonald's salad can give it more calories than a Big Mac.

Choose regular fried chicken. Extra crispy means extra fat up to 100 extra calories for a piece of Kentucky Fried. Order milk instead of fast-food shakes: Low-fat milk provides much more protein and calcium per calorie. Or order a diet soda. If you're looking to cut calories, go easy on the French frias.

Split an order with someone else. When you're at Wendy's or Roy Rogers, consider a plain baked potato instead. Choose a fast-food salad. If if you can. It's leaner.

Cheese, while a source of protein and calcium, also carries some fat. chains now offer a salad bar or a packaged salad. While the salads may be more healthful, the usual fast-food fare is long on fat, calories and protein, and short on vitamins, minerals and fiber.

Although Wendy's introduced the salad bar almost a decade ago, 1987 was the year salad took off in a big way.

McDonald's came out with its own brand of boxed salads and Burger King quickly followed suit. Most big Editors, Consumer Reports If fast food summons anything to mind, it's likely to be the grease that is practically the industry's trademark. But people don't patronize these restaurants for ambrosial delights or good nutrition. Most go for the speed and convenience. Still, many fast-food patrons are concerned about what they're eating.

A recent survey of Consumer Reports' 'readers found that 40 percent perceived what they were eating as only fair or poor nutritionally; some 60 percent said they He goes flat out to keep Ford accounts J.

Walter ThompsonDetroit, he was responsible for safeguarding the multinational client. Ford told Thompson it wasn't unhappy with its Brazil advertising, but felt a review would invigorate it.

"It came as a total shock," Schweitzer recalled. He spent the next few months working on a campaign to save the business, but the account was awarded to a Brazilian agency; That situation could have caused big problems for Thompson. Ford's other major agencies Young Rubicam (Lincoln-Mercury) and Ogilvyt Mather (Ford parts and service) were interested in picking up additional advertising.
