CNN - Really? I thought you were better than this

I have a love for CNN. I get their alerts several times a day, they report new and interesting breaking stories, and it is trustworthy. But today under their "Breaking News" section, I think I came across the stupidest headline of the week:

Study: Most kids' fast-food meals have too many calories

I mean, really CNN? That is your breaking new study, fast food is fattening for children? I mean, no offense, but I think I could have figured that one out myself. Fast food joints may be trying to mask their unhealthy meals with new additions such as "apple dippers" and healthier side options, but does that really out way the fat chicken nuggets or a junior cheeseburger. I'm going with no on this one.

The story goes on to report that:

"Nearly every possible combination of the children's meals at Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell, Sonic, Jack in the Box, and Chick-fil-A are too high in calories, the report by the Center for Science in the Public Interest said."

And...

"Burger King has a "Big Kids" meal with a double cheeseburger, fries, and chocolate milk at 910 calories, and Sonic has a "Wacky Pack" with 830 calories worth of grilled cheese, fries, and a slushie."

I still eat fast food about once a month, but I am not pretending that what I am eating is actually good for me. Just look at the name of the restaurants, I am gonna say that any restaurant with the name Chick-fil-A does not have my best health interests in mind...

So, I am going to say a resounding "Duh" on this report and give CNN a little bit of a get out of jail free card for putting it under "Breaking News." But the next time I see a headline like "Study: Smoking causes cancer" I am going to have to drop them from my feed.
