Two attractive, energetic teen hosts warn viewers to watch out for six fast-food "trouble spots": sugar, salt, calories, too few fruits and vegetables, and saturated and trans fats. Instead, if you order from a fast-food restaurant, ask for small portions, plenty of fruits and vegetables, and healthier menu choices—or pick a healthier restaurant.
