The American "Obesity Epidemic?"

[Yobz]

There seems to be an unjust bashing of fast foods in this thread. While I agree that eating a quadruple cheeseburger with fries and a coke is damn near suicidal, fast food places offer healthy alternatives as well. I often eat fast food after work because I lack the motivation to cook for myself. At McD's I get a premium salad with grilled chicken. Even with the dressing (which I sometimes put on, depends on my mood) it doesn't breach the 500 calorie mark. Have a water with that and I'm all set. The sodium content is higher than homemade food, but otherwise it seems pretty damn healthy.

It's all about choice, even at fast food restaurants.
