Part of the problem is likely that some menu items are simply far worse for you than you'd guess, if you don't check the nutrition information.
As an example, I was on the road recently and I stopped by a Burger King drive-thru to get a quick lunch. I knew that a Spicy Chicken Sandwich is 450 calories, which isn't wholly unreasonable.
Sadly, they were out of those, but they asked if I'd like an "angry tendercrisp sandwich' instead. It sounded similar, so I said yes.
The angry tendercrisp sandwich: 1030 calories, 61g of fat, 15g of fat, and 2670mg of sodium.
But I'm sure there are some people who order them, thinking they're healthier than a burger.
