That's 90%. What's the remaining 10% of nutritional content?
Also, the article links to a study from 2006 about chocolate milk, not a recent study about fast food. Here is the actual study (pdf):

Pretty shoddy editing.
Only 10% fat is particularly surprising, since many fast food items will have much higher fat content than that (hash browns have about 50% of caloric content from fat, Big Mac 45%, fries 43%, etc.). EDIT: apparently the distribution was broken down by weight, rather than by caloric contribution.
