Fast Food - Should It Be Banned?

But places like MacDonalds are trying to offer a healthier variety too. For example I just found:

Fast Food News: New Salads From McDonald's Canada

Inclusive of the article:

McDonald's has announced 4 new salads for their restaurants in Canada.

They are:

The Mediterranean Salad: red peppers, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, crumbled feta cheese, black olives and leafy greens.

The Mighty Caesar Salad: parmesan cheese, bacon, croutons and leafy greens with a garlic and parmesan glaze.

Spicy Thai Salad: spring mix and leafy greens with red peppers, cucumbers, carrots, and whole wheat crisps with sweet and spicy Thai glaze.

Garden Fresh Salad: red onion, cucumber, grape tomatoes, carrots, red peppers, shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses on leafy greens.

I'm gonna start aggravating people here soon I'm sure... but I can debate the topic of nutrition all day long and I can't sleep for shit tonight.

Salads are such a pointless food to eat if you're trying to "keep it healthy." The most basic salad dressing is a vinaigrette, which is half vinegar and half oil*, along with which most add sugar (carbohydrates) for flavor... then on top of the nutritionally dead lettuce (most lettuces contain little-to-no dietary substances) they pile up cheese* and meats*

Salads do one of two things.... they either contain way too many calories from the dressings (espcially mayonnaise** based ones) and the cheeses* piled on top... or they contain little-to-no nutritional value and leave you hungry just a few hours later.

* - Contains fat
** - Contains lots of fat
^ Notice how many times I used a * and refer to my previous post of fat = 9 calories/gram.
