    It's possible to eat healthy at some fast food chains--but you won't be eating what they're famous for.

    At McDonald's and other burger places, you can order their salad with grilled chicken, and go easy on the dressing. Or the grilled chicken sandwich, no fries.

    Pizza chains don't necessarily have a meal-sized salad on the menu. You can at least do thin crust and healthy toppings with low or no fat. Skip the pepperoni, sausage, and olives, and don't get added cheese in any form.

    Probably the healthiest fast food around is Panera Bread. When I was doing Weight Watchers, I could eat there without having to balance it out by going light on some other meal.

    Know the definition of FAST in fast food.  Only way to make it face is deep fry and pre-made.  Americans want fresh.. so deep fry it is..

    It depends on WHAT you order, doesn't it ?

    Many of the 'chain' fast food places do a 'veggie' option with salads and juices

    as well as the burger, onion rings, chips and milk shake 'super-size' option.

    Deal with the troll before it's too late. Every question in th.answers.yahoo.com has tons of blank answers (using space bar); it was posted by Shadowfire to gain points for his troll accounts. Jewish user Shadowfire (who has been on Yahoo Answers since the beginning and could possibly be the infamous homosexual flying antichrist from the tribe of Dan) from Portland [or so he claims because he could’ve been born in Russia in Valday (Russian: Валда́й) to a 12th generation Jewish prostitute who pretends to be a virgin)] has many trolls accounts on Yahoo Answers: Blackthorne1979, James Blackthorne, ✟ summer of night omega crow † ⚔, Saint James Tiberius Troll, Lord Shadowfire, Carter Berg, Fireball, ThatToiletguy, Tublet Huglet, Tut Uncommon: 3peat Offender, Cult Free, Reynaldo Weeks, Juli, Petri Lindroos, Knightwulf, Nonplussed, Nightwulf, Toilet John, Master Debator, Magistra, Desiree, D-girl, Firecock, Yahoo User, Corvus Blackthorne, Patrick McCluskey, Torchbug, Arni, r.wolfpaw, No Bozos, Fuzzface McGee, First Dragon, L.E. Gant, Fullofpoop, Shadowfire the Sarcastic, Pope of Atheist God, Jimson C. Raskin,  

    A yellow face with simple open eyes showing clenched teeth,

    El Nerdo Loco, megalomaniac, Corvia Blackthorne, Shadowfire Lives, Shadowfire Lives bytches, The Chick that wears Doc Martens, Homo, Wotan 8, Heidi Ho, Clo Bird, Angels with Silver Wings, Orange I'lluminaughty, Christian Sinner, Gandalf the black, The Lord Hummungus, Mismatched Tube Socks, Pearl, Partysnax the Dragon, etc. and any other anonymous accounts. With one his accounts Fireball, he pretends to be a Methodist old lady who posts short-hand slang TIRH (this is religion here). He reports all answers and questions that he doesn't like just so that his questions stay on top in the Religion and Spirituality section. He trolls in other categories too. It gives Christians a bad name (just because of this troll's sock puppet account). His Toilet John account keeps posting questions where Jesus was sodomized by Roman soldiers. Remember the prophecy where it says that the antichrist will have personal hatred towards the real Jesus Christ. That’s why Shadowfire keeps posting thousands of similar questions along the line: “Did Romans sodomize Jesus?” or “Did Romans buttrape Jesus?”. He asks multiple idiotic mundane questions like “Is Hinduism true?”, “What makes a girl harden?” [like he enjoyed killing little girls], etc. and answers them with his sock puppet accounts just to gain points. Some questions you can see that he answered with like five or seven accounts (especially the ones about himself that he reports right away). With his Reynaldo Weeks account he boasts that he was the reason why their accounts were suspended. With his Magistra account he threatens people with clowns and CIA assassins. Shadowfire mocks Christians with his sock puppet account Fireball in the Religion and Spirituality section by answering very destructively and adding "TIRH here" or reported (anonymously) or “fck you nigers”. He gives Christians a bad name because he promotes sins like sodomy, fornication, ecumenism, astrology (horoscopes), etc. He should be executed and burned at the stake for blasphemy. He spreads rapture heresy, reincarnation heresy, ecumenism heresy, etc. and many more subtle heresies. Antichrist will ride on a donkey into the 3rd Temple. Stop him before it’s too late. Antichrist is gay flying wizard who was born from a prostitute and who will ride on a donkey into the 3rd Temple. Antichrist's mother is a 12th generation prostitute (according to saint Lavrentiy of Chernigov). According to researcher Grigoriy Klimov, prostitutes = lesbians = witches; so, antichrist's mother is a witch, a lesbian, and a prostitute. Hide your kids, hide your wife ‘cuz de evil antichrist is flying thru town; take your glocks out and shoot dat son of a bytch down! Again, he’s an s-o-b ‘cuz his mother is a prostitute to Jews and Hindus. Funny thing is that she pretends to be a virgin. Don’t be deceived by this skumbag and his fake miracles trying to emulate Christ’s miracles! If wrongfully accused, forgive me; state under your account that you are not Corvus Blackthorne then. Shadowfire claims to be extraterrestrial raven when demons pretend to be extraterrestrials. I’m paranoid and think that all Yahoo accounts that talk about ravens are about him. Please, help me; I beg you.

    Source(s): How many kids were killed when pregnant women were fighting? A lot probably. That's why women's fighting should be banned. 😢😭 Not to mention that unbaptized kids go to hell. To rescue them from hell, pray schema-nun Antonia's prayer; forgive me.

    I agree they are few and far between. Some fast food restaurants will advertise low fat and such but they are so high in sodium and more. Many many years ago in my town a locally owned Vegan cafe opened and it was so good, with lentil soups and so many wonderful dishes and so so healthy food and they were so ahead of the times, not many could appreciate it and they had to close. Nothing beats homemade now days.

    I hear you.  About 20 years ago our KFC offered skinless, broiled chicken . . . . it was excellent - but apparently no one else bought it and it disappeared quickly.  I can remember when you got veggies when you ate at a restaurant - now it's pick a potato and the sides are rice, slaw or macaroni to go with whatever is served covered in cheese.  We go out to dine twice a week . . . it used to be our "well balanced" meals of the week - - - now it's just comfort food wherever we go.  And now - thanks to COVID - the salad tables and buffets are gone  Guess we must cook at home more.

    Good question. I think it's bc healthy food takes longer to make, so it wouldn't be considered fast food. Also, restaurant owners know they'll make more sales on unhealthy food like burgers & fries (and also cheaper to make than healthy food).

    We do.  It's restaurants.  Maybe looking up "resteraunts" is throwing off your google search.

    Because they wouldn’t sell sugar and fat.
