I really enjoyed how Sari Harrer begins this story. It's simple and yet I was able to picture a typical Norman Rockwell-era family depart for a restaurant dinner. Those who don't know who Norman Rockwell is may miss the point, but I'd say that's their loss. The story then goes into an average nut graf full of startling statistics and facts.
The structure of the article works very well for a how-to. Reader's should have no difficulty steering to topics which interest them most. The content is also informative and effectively displays how one should go about healthily eating out.
One issue I had with the article did involve the use of statistics. There were times (specifically in Step 2) where the numbers almost seemed to outnumber the words. It just seemed so hard to keep track of all these numbers as I was reading. There needs to be something here to ground the writing so the reader isn't lost in the numbers.
