Something tells me Conan would be on Letterman's side.

Probably not. Like already mentioned, it's probably McItalian crap. I dont know, I dont eat there

Agreed, a smug twit.

It's that peg IQ test, makes 'em feel smart or summin' I guess.

I'm in the industry and although I don't like to generalize I have to agree with you.

I think it's the Whac-A-Mole that does it.

I don't eat pasta.

My husband had a stroke a couple of years ago. When you start checking into fat content of foods, Olive Garden turns out to be a favorite. For him it can be a matter of life or death, so yes, it is one of the healthiest restaurants we could find. It is just about the only place we eat out. Most of our meals are at home, so I know what we are eating.

My Ron Paul supporting, organic food eating, sustainable development, crunchy granola friends go to the local farmers market where we don't buy company brand anything.

I cannot recommend this book enough. And its not only informative, its extremely well written. Hard to put down. Learn how factory farms really work. Organic is smarter than you think.

I don't know about Olive Garden's political contributions, but I do know that Outback Steakhouse has given loads of money to the Republican Party.
