"...in fact, the price of a burrito bowl and quinoa bowl are roughly equitable at just under $7, although the latter contains about half the calories"
They demonstrate the same oversimplification of food health included in every fast food chain's marketing. It's literally ironic that a lower calorie count is considered 'healthy'.
Low calorie food will help you lose weight. If you are not overweight, you should not be limiting your caloric intake.
Healthy food is rich with a variety of nutrients, low in harmful components and high in calories.
- dibujante 11y agoYeah :( I am increasingly dismayed by food providers trying to sell me on the notion that, between two items of similar price, I should pick the one with fewer calories. This is a swindle: we are literally being told to pay more for less.
- abandonliberty 11y agoMany reasons why the marketing is like this: * The public is confused with low calorie vs healthy * The public hasn't caught on to cheap sources of healthy calories (ie, healthy fats and whole grains) [1] * The other types of healthy calories cost more * This enables businesses to charge more for smaller portions! Hilarious example: There are tons of fake healthy 'wheat' breads. Multigrain, Farmers, Rustic, Subway wheat. None of them are anywhere near whole grain. These fake-healthy foods have been tricking people for years. [1] http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/healthy-eating-plate/ http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/healthy-eating-p...
