Calorie counts can be surprising. A chicken and avocado salad at Cheesecake Factory runs you 1,870 calories. Sure, the portion is huge, but you’d save 300-500 calories by opting for a pizza instead.

Resources and burden, I assume. Chain restaurants generally have hashed out their supply chain, receive consistent ingredients, normalized prep/portioning, and have the resources to hire someone to do the number crunching (though I would still allow for a relatively wide margin of error).

I’m glad to see them. It’s nice to have the information and be able to make an informed decision, especially when you’re trying to change your lifestyle.

There’s having an opinion on something, and then there’s investing your self-worth into something then having it feel like a personal insult whenever someone criticises that thing.

Nothing says “I’m not smug” like calling somebody smug for shopping at a grocery store.

When was the last time you actually drank a beer? Most of the world class beers these days are only available in cans. Ever hear of Heady Topper? As has been mentioned, a can is a much better vessel for holding beer than glass in just about every way.

Actually a lot of very excellent craft beers come exclusively in cans. Cans protect beer from light, and therefore protect it from going bad. These are also modern lined cans that no longer impart any taste like older cans do.

You should perhaps consider moving someplace else.

Not that being dead ever stopped Chicago residents from participating in the electoral process.
