Girth Of A Nation! Cheesecake Factory Calorie Listings

Have you ever wondered why The Cheesecake Factory does not publish the nutritional facts about their food on their website, or when you send a request to receive them all you get is a response that currently they are unavailable and that The Cheesecake Factory hopes to have this available in the future? What are they trying to hide from the people consuming their food? I found the answer to this question, and it's a lot! Let's focus right now on the kids menu. If you were to get your child a kids size pasta with alfredo and a glass of apple juice you are looking at 1,989 calories with no refills on the drink or Parmesan cheese on the pasta. There is also 89g of saturated fat, 690g of sodium and 113g of carbs. This is why for the first time in history this current generation has a lower life expectancy than the one before it. Let's view a couple of more "Kid's Menu" items.

And these are the numbers without a beverage. Some of these meals have more calories than an entire day for a child. What I would like to see is how much sugar is in these food items. Should a responsible parent feed this stuff to their child?
