Obesity affects around 34% of the adult population in the USA and it’s no wonder since restaurants continue to serve calorie bombs that enable people to eat more than all the calories they need in a day in a single serving.
Discover a few of the worst foods in America, dishes and beverages that go over 2,000 calories and that also include insanely high levels of saturated fat, with or without a huge dose of sodium. From The Cheesecake Factory to Burger King, here are some of the worst things you can eat in the USA.

Worst Calorie Bomb: Chili’s Shiner Bock BBQ Ribs with Cinnamon Apples and Homestyle Fries – 2,330 calories
