Contraportada

So wrote The Los Angeles Times when THE FAST-FOOD GUIDE first appeared in 1986.

Because even in the enlightened era of the low-fat hamburger and frying in vegetable shortening, there is still a salad out their offering 905 calories and 14 teaspoons of fat, and a seafood sandwich laden with 2,612 milligrams of sodium. And that's not your way.
