After getting some pre-cancerous spots, I started eating more veggies and feel better and also keep my weight at a reasonable level. I heard eating only 5% meat will almost keep you from getting cancer but eating 15% meat will almost certainly give you cancer (The China Study, a book at the library).

There are plenty of average weight/BMI people who consume fast food. The problem isn't just obesity, but the ramifications of eating this kind of processed food.

You do not include the carbohydrate and sugar value for the fast food and in other articles. On the milk shake type values you list the sugar but not for all things you speak about. Carb value is just as important as sodium and fat. After all is said and done in reading food value labels everyone uses 15 grams as 1 carb and not more than 10 grams of sugar as sugar value within the carb value. 5 fat grams is 1 fat.People who watch their carbhydrates and fat shoulkd relate their diets to these standard values.It would help to have a full value on everything you speak about.

If an obese person opted for any of these instead of a whopper and fries, I guarantee you they would lose some weight. I think the list is for people who are on the go and eat fast food a lot. When you eat that much fast food, anything is better than fried!

When traveling, your options can be severly limted. This is not a suggested lifestyle. Just some help with what to do to get by in a pinch. What part of this do you not understand:

I'd rather go hungry than eat any of what you have suggested. How about taking healthy food with you on your road trip and forgetting this exercise in finding the least harmful of genuinely bad food.
