And Whataburger isn't that far off Chipotle....
Cheap food is generally worse for you. Think about the cost of a 12pk of popcorn versus fresh veggies for example... It contributes to obesity and poor health for sure because poorer people can't afford fresh veggies, proper meats, etc and have to settle for the dollar menu instead. I'm with you though that eating unhealthily is a choice for MANY Americans who have the means to eat well but don't for convenience or any other reason.
