I almost couldn't believe when I found this "salad" at the salad bar today, right next to the garbanzo beans and spinach (take a look at the ingredience list above...) To me this is a heavy abuse to the word salad and a totally misplaced item.
Here's the definition of "salad" from the online dictionary dictionary.reference.com
"A usually cold dish of raw leafy green vegetables, often tossed with pieces of other raw or cooked vegetables, fruit, cheese, or other ingredients and served with a dressing..."
This example, along with muffins or sugarcoated cereal in a plastic bag for breakfast, are some things that drives me to promote healthier, smart, food choices.

That's really gross. Ordering food at restaurants in the States is really tricky. I can only imagine a foreigner's eye on it all. We were at a restaurant in New York State this summer, where it is law to post the nutritional information on menus. Nothing on this menu was under 1000 calories and many of the salads were around 1300 calories!
