Restaurant Code Words: Crunchy, tempura, battered, crispy, breaded, crusted, golden, sizzling
If you're making a healthy choice, you're probably not purposely choosing a fried food item.

Restaurant Code Words: Teriyaki, BBQ, glazed, sticky, honey-dipped
Powdered doughnuts may be self-explanatory on a menu, but options labeled as Teriyaki, BBQ, glazed, sticky or honey-dipped could also be high in added sugars. It is wise to ask if sauces of any kind are made with sugar, including salad dressings and vinaigrettes

Restaurant Code Words: Loaded, stuffed, creamy, cheesy, gooey, smothered, melted, rich, velvety
It's funny how adjectives describing foods can elicit Pavlov's law in even the most rigorous health fanatic. That's the point.

Gee, all the good stuff ain’t good for you?
When people eat out, they want it to taste good.
Here are the words you should pick: dry, soggy, bland, burnt, sugarless, fat free, no sodium, stringy, stingy.

The CNN food Nazi wags a scolding finger but all those high caloric menu adjectives she is warning the proles against, have just sent my appetite into hyper-drive.
“Calories are what Nature puts into food to make it taste good.”
Not a flip statement but a true description of how humans have survived over many millenia.
“Those are not “code words”. Anyone with an above-room-temperature IQ knows what they mean.”

Have you no pity? That’s cruel!
