It’s tricky finding healthy fast food

In this article, Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz focus on whether the "healthy" options at fast food restaurants are actually healthy. They claim that it is possible to find good and quick choices at most fast food restaurants, but it is easy to make foods, like salads, unhealthy with things like salad dressing. But, it is important to be careful because some things that claim to be healthy are actually far from it. It is noted that when actually going in to the fast food restaurant, it is much harder to order healthy foods than order the enticing unhealthy items.
The fact that fast food has become so integrated in to our society has shown how rushed our society is, with little down time. It also is leading to a huge decrease in family meals and is having an impact on family relationships. Although it is good that people are looking for healthier foods, fast food restaurants affect other aspects of our society as well. This is something that could be researched further.

    Healthy fast food has real potential as a nutritional and commercial research subject. Timely and compelling. A second entry?
