Default Healthy Dining Finder website -- this is pretty cool!

This was the first article today (3-16-07) in the Life Seciton of USA
Today

http://healthydiningfinder.com/site/

The article said:

"If your travel diet leans toward fast-food gurgers and hubcap-size
cinnamon buns, you're got a new ally in the battle of the bulge.

"Just launched HealthyDiningFinder.com lets diners search for healthy
menu options nationwide by ZIP code, address or restaurants.

"The site, staffed by dietitians and other nutrition experts and
funded in part by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
llists menu items that measure up in such areas as calories (no more
than 750 for an entree), fat (a maximum of 25 grams per meal) and deep-
fried items (they're banned in anything other than "very small,"
amounts). About 30,000 restaurant locations are listed, representing
nearly 250 chains and a handful of independents. -- Laura Bly"

Pretty neat site if you're looking for healthier options even at
fastfood places. (It will direct you about what to ask for even at
Burger King, etc.)
