Dishes targeted to health-conscious consumers at popular chains such as Chili's, Taco Bell and Applebee's contained as much as twice the calories and eight times the grams of fat than the restaurants claimed in their published nutrition information, a Scripps Television Station investigation revealed.
From March to May this year, Scripps stations tested food in eight cities from chains that cater to calorie counters by offering special, health-conscious menus -- a growing segment in the restaurant industry.

I don't eat there enough that it would be a problem, but I guess some people do.

I noticed that the Scripps Television stations did not say anything in their report about the restaurant chain that uses Scripps Network personalities in its advertising (Friday's.) Coincidence?

Applebees is mentioned. They have Tyler Florence.

Oops. I didn't think about that one.
