Why is all fast food unhealthy?

[Bouncer]

Why wouldn't they be? I'm a consultant and I'm on the road for weeks at a time, different cities. I'm also very health conscience and run my own blog about healthy eating on the go (and I'm constantly in hotel gyms and I do p90x in my hotel rooms with my laptop. How in the world can you sit there and say that people who travel and consult for a living aren't concerned with finding a healthy meal when I'm actually living that life right now and you are sitting at home in your parents house?

you sound mad at her, you jealous bro? just because she doesnt live in the local HOJO doesnt mean you can shit on her in every post.

first it was Art of War and now its mofo. all your posts are in general chat and all your doing is talking shit in general chat. you are a garbage member of the forum and garbage needs to go in the trash. one more post talking shit to anyone and you are gone you fucken hotel dweller.

Didn't mean to start any drama. This is like an episode of Jersey Shore without JWoww.

Anyway, you guys bring up some good points. I really don't think finding a customer base would be an issue in my town. (depending on the location.) Biggest issues would be the speed of making "fresh" food like that and the cost of fresh food being a bit higher, which I would need to pass on to the customer. That in itself will just turn it into more of a regular restaraunt. At that point my "healthy food in a hurry" niche is gone.

I'm still thinking about a few things. I am very good friends with the family that owns 7 GNC stores in my town, which would make for a good partnership. (Trading free advertising)

i think that you're right about the healthy fast food place becoming a regular restaurant. the biggest problem with cooking healthy food is that it really does take time to cook and prepare.

She's in her early 20's and in college. Where should she be living?

Really? What about consultants who are always on the road, away from home? Living in hotels?

If your read my post without immediately jumping to a judgment, I said it is possible. I did not say everyone could.

Being on the road is tough. But at chain restaurants you can always create a healthy meal (grilled chicken, veggies), albeit high in sodium. So while you may not be able to cook, there are ways to manage.

As for the working out, I would try to find one guess passes to local gyms. Tell them you just moved to the area and are thinking about joining the gym. Often they will be happy to oblige

what makes you think that people that are on the road that often are concerned with finding a healthy meal every meal of the day, let alone hit the gym regularly?

you just love trying to contradict everyone which is really annoying. you're like my little brother that needs a smack upside the head.

You are correct. It is possible to not be home and still eat healthy. Between work, school, library, and community service, I am always on the go. A cooler and 99 cents worth of ice and I'm good to go for the day

right. but some people who have jobs also make time to cook healthy at home instead of going out to eat as well.

Musclemaker is not "fast food" in the mold of McD or Burger King. The food takes slightly longer for it is not pre-made and held under heat lamps. I think the speed factor plays a large part

[mofo]

some people have jobs and very busy lives and don't just sit home all day cooking.

right. but some people who have jobs also make time to cook healthy at home instead of going out to eat as well.

hell i can eat healthy anywhere, take mcdonalds for example. i get 2 grilled chicken, no mayo on a wheat bun with lettuce and tomato.

Bingo! You have the right idea Bouncer. You can make the best of some places you eat out.

[Tizz]

i think it's what a lot of people in my family say. "why pay more to go out and eat healthy when you can save a few bucks and cook the same stuff at home?"

some people have jobs and very busy lives and don't just sit home all day cooking.

These type of places can work if you are in a city invironment and have lots of foot traffic going by all day. If it's a place people have to go out of there way to get too it won't work.
