Anne Paskett has filed a lawsuit because she says she was duped by the allegedly low-fat offerings at Chili's and Macaroni Grill. She's been on Weight Watchers for three years and wound up eating more calories than she thought at Chili's because their menu undercut the actual fat and caloric values of their low-fat meals.

"I would go in and weigh in and the scale, and the lady behind the counter would say 'you're up 2 1/2 pounds,'" she said. "And I would say, 'but how could I be? I've been eating according to my plan.'"

If they are, in fact, putting false numbers on their menu, that's totally false advertising and they deserve to be sued for that. I have no problem with this. But seems to me, regardless of fat and calories, Chili's and Macaroni Grill probably aren't the best places to eat when you're dieting anyways, you know? That's what In-n-Out is for, man!
