MODERATORS
They only reviewed the 10 top-selling items at each chain. Headline could have read: "Breaking News: People Like Buying Comfort Food and Sugar"
That sums it up well.
I’m all for research, it’s good to have proven methods to say “hey, this is not healthy”. But this is a no brainer. I always assume that even a healthy option at a restaurant is worse (high fat, high salt, high added sugars) than anything I’d make myself.
Nobody is kidding themselves into thinking any of these places are healthy.
