That's why I stopped eating fast food, its all super high in saturated fat. Especially for breakfast fast food, they could use egg beaters, turkey bacon, and fat free cheese on a bagel and offer a not so bad for you item that wont taste that much different then what they are selling now but will be 100x better for you.

I do, there is no money in it... Places like mcdonalds tries new healthy options all the time, in either test markets or not, but nobody buys them! People go to those places to eat the gross stuff, which is an unfortunate truth. Also high fatty foods and high salted foods make that stuff a lot more addictive than the healthy stuff does.. why do you think there is that much sodium in soda? Probably more addictive than the caffeine in it! Even those sandwiches they used to have there got axed here in canada...
It's a losing battle it seems
