No
kid’s entrée eclipses the 400-calorie mark, a
rare feat among fast-food and sit-down
purveyors. Stray far from the kids’ menu,
though, and you’ll find trouble
fast—particularly with the burgers, which can
contain more than 1,100 calories. But the
biggest reason Jack is stuck in the middle of
the pack is trans fat. From the Curly Fries to
the Chicken Strips, Jack’s has the
trans-fattiest menu in America.SURVIVAL STRATEGY
Allow free rein of the kids’ menu, but insist
on a smart side like applesauce and a
zero-calorie beverage.
