 A 24-ounce limited edition Jack in the Box eggnog shake contains1,450 calories, 225 percent of the daily saturated fat recommended limit, and 3 grams of trans fat.(NOTE: Trans fat recommendations are set at 0 grams per day.) If this "special edition" shake is available after December 31, they should change its name to "The Resolution Breaker." To put it in perspective, this beverage has more calories than an entire 12-inch Domino's cheese pizza (with regular -- not thin -- crust)! And if you thought the 3 grams of trans fat were bad, check out some of the other options on Jack in the Box's menu. A 10-piece order of mini churros delivers a jaw-dropping (and heart-stopping?) SEVEN grams of trans fat! An order of French Fries from the children's menu may seem innocent with its 220 calories, but it also delivers 3.5 grams of trans fat. So, dear president-elect Obama, how about igniting heart-healthy change with a national trans fat ban?
