Are there any foods that people just assume are bad for you because they come from a restaurant?

1 Answer

Answer :

Pizza is junk food. Lots of gluten, salt and grease. Most of what is sold in restaurants appeals to the taste of the American consumer. Grease, salt and sugar. Not that I care what other people eat. But if I go to a restaurant, I know full well what I am getting, and I make a calculated value judgement. That is why I usually cook for myself.
