Healthy Fast Food?
by Andrea Leigh
on August 05, 2008
Dunkin Donuts recently announced the addition of healthier snacks to their menu, including flatbread sandwiches made with egg whites. The menu also includes items such as multigrain bagels and reduced-fat blueberry muffins. The menu, called DDSmart, features items with 25 percent fewer calories, sugar, fat, or sodium than comparable products.
Fine, if you're a healthy person forced to eat at a Dunkin Donuts, but are people really going there to obtain "nutritionally beneficial" snacks? What's next, french fries made out of sliced apples? Oh, Burger King's all over that? Hmmm....

Its still gargabe. People need to stop being so fat, lazy and disgusting already and cook their own meals, eat properly and exercise.

Still a bunch of carbs and low-quality fats. At least you can get a banana at Starbucks!

Not only is their coffee much improved, they have FREE wi-fi. The food is no worse than anywhere else and it's not the food but the number of calories consumed that counts. By the way what's gargabe?

Eat healthy and exercise. Yeah right. Every year they change what heathy eating should be on the results of crappy studies. Every year people in their mid-twenties blow out their knees exercising.
A guy eats "right" and jogs, then has a stroke on the jogging path at the age of 43. Then some old fart eats a stick of butter everyday, smokes, drinks, and lives to be 105. Knew a kid that needed to gain some weight, started eating the highest calorie food they could find on the McDonalds menu, the fish sandwich and fries.
Lost ten pounds. If the doctors and dieticians haven't figured it out yet, why should anyone listen to some pontificating holier than though health nazi with strobe lights on their cross.

"Every year people in their mid-twenties blow out their knees exercising."
That sounds like the worst excuse to not exercise that i've ever heard.

@shooter: Wasn't "Gargabe" the twin sister of the bad guy in "The Smurfs"?

No, I think it the twin sister of poor spelling.
