Once upon a time the Cheesecake Factory was about eating cheesecake. Then they offered a full menu. Now you can get salads – not just any salads but weight management salads.The Factory must be feeling the heat from food police.
Along with their usual salads they also offer the following:
- Weight Management CALIFORNIA SALAD™
- Weight Management PEAR AND ENDIVE SALAD™
- Weight Management SPICY CHICKEN SALAD™
- Weight Management ASIAN CHICKEN SALAD™
- Weight Management SEAFOOD SALAD™
How bizarre is it that we have to start classifying salads as “normal” or “weight management”?
I just had it. It was great. It does have tangy greens, but I like that! Yum!
To those who ask why you would expect cheesecake factory to be healthy, one answer is we don’t! But I/we want to eat there anyway. Their food is good and eating healthy is not about every meal, it’s about the overall pattern.
I am willing to make sacrifices elsewhere to have it, but I’ve got to know what the nutritional info so I can make the trade offs. Maybe I eat a light lunch instead, maybe I can eat a third or the serving.. maybe half.. maybe none…
I think the amount of heavy weights in the world right now is sufficient to indicate that eating by instinct isn’t working. I don’t ask that they change the food, I just want to know what I’m getting myself into.
