This is the average meal at mickey d's

Well, sometimes you can't avoid fast food. Like I was traveling cross country by Amtrak (and then back by Greyhound due to a late train) and McDonalds was the one constant for food at stopovers. I have a dairy allergy and celiac disease so the ONLY thing at Boston's South Station and Chicago's Union Station was McDonald's fries because they have a dedicated fryer that does not fry anything else. Most salads are premade with croutons or cheese which makes it difficult to find anything that fits into my dietary needs.

But there are healthy things. And a fast food meal can EASILY be healthier than the average American meal of meat and potatoes or macaroni and cheese or whatever.
