What's the healthiest chain restaurant?

| | Comments (0)

Fast-food and sit-down chains were ranked together, and interestingly enough, the fast food ranked a whole lot better, according to a story posted on Yahoo Health by way of Men's Health.

I found this really interesting because of another story I heard on NPR last night about how people go to fast-food restaurants over sit-down restaurants when times get tough. And that worried me because I assumed it meant people were also eating less healthy because the economy is rough. But, looks like I was wrong.

And what's the healthiest chain tested? Chick-fil-A. The last letter in its name is the chain's score. Subway, which was probably everyone's first guess (including mine in the fast-food category) came in second.

The worst scorers, mostly the sit-down chains, got poor marks because they won't list nutritional info.

See the whole list here. Any surprises?
