Dessert-Like Breakfast Item Just As Unhealthy For You As Expected

Disillusioning news from the latest look at the calorie quotient of this fine nation’s chain-restaurant meals: A Bob Evans menu item that goes by the name “Cinnamon Cream Stacked and Stuffed Hotcakes” — it’s a pair of pancakes “stuffed with our very own sweet cinnamon chips and drizzled in our rich cinnamon cream sauce,” says the homestyle restaurant chain’s menu, which somehow neglects to mention the whipped cream — is high in calories and fat, according to the chain-restaurant crusaders at the Center for Science In The Public Interest. (1,380 calories; 27 grams saturated fat; 7 grams trans fat. Just in case you were wondering.) The rest of the somewhat unfortunately named “XTreme Eating 2010” list isn’t as desserty, but reading it did give me a stomachache, so, point for health?
