The biggest change imho is not on the menu. They don't market aggressively to children anymore, nothing like when I was a kid.
There's heaps of unhealthy fast food joints, the difference is the marketing. A Chipotle burrito has over 1000 calories but is perceived as healthy. That's twice the calories in a Big Mac.
- lutefisk 10y agoI don't think Chipotle is just perceived as healthier, you're eating real food rather than meat mix from McDonalds.
- smacktoward 10y agoReal food that's so calorically dense and heavily salted that a single burrito contains as many calories and as much sodium as a person is supposed to eat over an entire day. Organic is good, responsibly sourced is good, but neither one automatically equals healthiness all by themselves.
- ianai 10y agoI'm not so worried about the calories. It's the insane amounts of salt in everything. No one even seems concerned about it.
- Fnoord 10y ago> No one even seems concerned about it. Sure people are. Not enough according to you perhaps. Sugar (not slow carbohydrates), and salts are the two main concerns.
