More than 75% of popular takeaway and restaurant food is unhealthy, study finds
- perrygeo 2y agoBe wary of any study claiming x is universally "unhealthy". Context matters.
- RamblingCTO 2y agoNot really. Excess sugar, fat, carbs, saturated fats is unhealthy, no matter what.
- ilius2 2y agoI'm pretty sure it's almost %100 because I have never seen or heard one that does not use vegetable oil, which is poison by itself, but much more when they use it to fry food - over and over - and it keeps producing more and more trans fat!
- Ekaros 2y agoSimple rule, if it tastes good it is unhealthy. And if I am paying relatively decent amount of money I will pick something that tastes good. Why would I go out of my way and get unseasoned steamed vegetables in restaurant? Or salad without sauce...
- JohnFen 2y agoHealthy food doesn't mean unseasoned food.
- thiht 2y agoThat’s a stupid rule. It’s easy to homecook delicious and healthy meals. Don’t use healthiness as an excuse to make food without sauce or seasoning.
- xenospn 2y agoVegetable salad with a bit of olive oil and salt/pepper is delicious and very healthy. Most Americans just don’t know how to eat.
- idontwantthis 2y agoBut would you buy that at a restaurant? I will always get something extravagant and probably unhealthy because if it weren’t I would just make it at home.
- anovikov 2y agoThat's natural, because people want food that is both cheap and tasty at the same time. Just like with software that can be quick to build, cheap, or high quality, you can't have more than two at the same time and people naturally choose unhealthy over pricey or bland. People should only blame themselves.
- IndySun 2y agoThe title reads like it's from The Onion or Daily Mash.
- JohnFen 2y agoI'm surprised. I assumed that percentage would have been much higher.
