Light in the fast lane: fast-food restaurants may push value meals over healthful ones, but they do have a lighter side
Article Abstract:
Consumer response to health foods in fast-food restaurants was not positive. Many eateries have discontinued their menu items and opted for different ways to market more of their popular fat-lade, salt-laden, calorie-laden food. Some take-out places continue to offer options to customers who watch their fat intake. Subway, Taco Bell, and even Kentucky Fried Chicken offer alternative foods that are a slight improvement over standard hamburger places.
