Do the ads add up?

Article Abstract:

Financial advertising is often misleading, and the fine print can be difficult, if not impossible, to understand. Brochures for credit cards or investment companies can leave out key information about specific fees and charges, and definitions of terms. Australia's Trade Practices Act requires certain information to be provided, but there is much room for improvement in regulations.

Is fast food fat food?

Article Abstract:

Australian fast food tends to be high in fat, but there are some healthier choices on fast food menus. The best-balanced choice is Red Rooster Skinfree sub meal, followed by McDonald's Grilled chicken burger. Children's meals at the three main burger chains are all high in calories and not particularly well balanced.
