Americans talk a good game when it comes to eating more healthy food, but at the end of the day they still buy a burger with fries. While 47% of Americans say they'd like restaurants to offer healthier items like salads and baked potatoes, only 23% tend to order those foods, according to a survey by food research firm Technomic.In an effort to help America slim down the government has step in and today, many restaurants offer a healthy menu. But Americans are still making poor choices when they order their meals.
In a country where more than two-thirds of the population is overweight or obese, food choices are often made on impulse, not intellect.
It's also why only 11% of parents ordered apple slices as an alternative to fries in McDonald's Happy Meals.
