You do know that casual chain sitdown places actually have far worse calorie counts and are usually way worse for you than any fast food, right?

That's definitely true though. The reason it tastes good even though it's not very high quality food is because it is loaded with fat/sugar/butter and it makes it super calorie dense.

Depends on what you get obv, you can just get a salad without drowning it in ranch + bacon bits.

I hit a denny's for the first time in a while a bit back and their menu had calories of pretty much every dish on there as well as icons for healthier options, I haven't actually been to an applebees in forever so I dunno if that's the case there but I imagine this is common among all chain restaurants now.

Yeah because you're not a tard. But you'd be surprised how many Americans think these places are "healthier" than fast food. It's actually a big part of the worsening obesity crisis and shows that Americans still don't understand how nutrition works.

It's definitely becoming more of a thing, yeah, especially with places like Denny's.

Research shows that people feel better just having the option and THINKING about getting the healthier item even if they end up ordering what they normally do though so it's kind of a double edged sword a little bit. Like just thinking about choosing to eat healthy makes you feel like you did eat healthier and now you can load up on calories guilt free.

Human brains are dumb sometimes.

quote:

http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/599219?prevSearch=%28Gavan+Fitzsimons%29+AND+[journal%3A+jcr]&searchHistoryKey=&

Results demonstrate that individuals are, ironically, more likely to make indulgent food choices when a healthy item is available compared to when it is not available.

Two other test menus showed the same effect. “We also had participants choose from menus contrasting a bacon cheeseburger, chicken sandwich and fish sandwich with a veggie burger,” Block said. “And we tried chocolate covered Oreos, original Oreos and golden Oreos against a 100-calorie pack of Oreos and obtained the same result.”

“Adding the healthier option caused people with high self-control to choose the least healthy option possible. Even though it was not their first choice before the healthy option was included,” Block said.

The effect is most pronounced on people who otherwise have high self control which is double hilarious to me.

People like to pretend like advertising and psychology has no effect on their purchasing decisions like they are somehow the only immune human but it's just not true.

For some bizarre reason, the pizza hut closest to me always looks clean, is staffed by adults, and serves good (for a chain takeout restaurant) pizza whereas every other pizza hut I've ever been to is horrible. Maybe it's an experiment with paying adults higher wages as opposed to paying a teenager minimum wage or something.

their purpose is to serve garbage food to garbage people and you're garbage too if you don't eat homemade food with fresh ingredients from the farmer's market or at expensive, non-chain restauraunts.
