Comment on The size decrease of fast-food over the last 5 years.
dingus@lemmy.world 19 hours agoYou were with me until the latter part. People aren’t hitting up a sit down restaurant when they want fast food because they want to get in and get out without having to leave their car.
I have a Chick Fil A literally a 2 minute walk from me. I go often because of convenience. I don’t have to wait in a long line in my car and because it’s one of the few fast food joints that offers healthier alternatives like grilled chicken nuggets, salads, fruit, sides of kale, etc. It’s not a common occurrence to have options like that at a fast food place. The Chick Fil A and Taco Bell are right next to each other, but I end up going to the Chick Fil A 9 times out of 10 over Taco Bell because of this.

I agree with all this.
But it’s expensive. And slow, because it’s so busy.
That changes everything for me. If I’m going to pay a ton for a chicken sandwich and wait for it, I am going to be quite a bit more critical.

Most Taco Bell items are surprisingly healthy/balanced too though. Like, other than some of the crazier novelty items, pretty much everything on the menu is just protein and veggies wrapped in a tortilla. The bean and rice burrito has some of the best macros of any fast food item, and as a bonus, it’s still relatively cheap, especially compared to Chik fil a.

I mean, the vast majority of menu items are carbs, cheese, and protein. There’s really hardly veggies in there at all. A nominal amount of shredded lettuce is really nothing compared to fruit and a salad.

As a diabetic I have to watch what I eat but I still enjoy fried shit on occasion but I can’t do rice at all. I honestly don’t know why there are no food places that offer diabetic friendly meals.
No body offers the low carb tortillas. Or low carb high fiber bread. Grilled veggies like zucchini and onions with sausage. Even snack places. There are some good low sugar deserts that could be made

Man I’m sorry to hear. You’re already diabetic so I mean carbs are out…but I mean I feel like fats and sodium aren’t going to be as much of a worry until you also have high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Altho once you do then you’re fucked I guess. I’ve heard of salt substitutes, but I don’t know much about them.
