Yes it is horrible now and it was decent some time ago...Have you visited PF Changs, Olive Garden, Chili's lately? After you have visited them, let us know if it has improved (or if you suffered some GI issues/hospitalized). Fast food does NOT have to equate to unhealthy and inedible food...I have been to several hole in the wall joints in AZ that will put them to shame...Tasty, healthy and inexpensive food on the go is a reality.
Unfortunately, that might be why a vast majority of the US population is unhealthy and obese...the masses eat the unhealthiest food to address their satiety...The amusing part is everything is super-sized and top with "I'll wash it down with a diet pop..."
I am not a food snob or elitist...I just enjoy my food with same passion for porsche...I like it lean and mean 
Remember you are what you eat...besides why bother lightening your track car when the best thing to make your car a lot faster is to lighten the excess fat on the driver/operator!  |
i cook or prepare 99% of the food that goes into my body. the last time i ate at a chilis was probably 6 years ago. olive garden....probably 4 years ago. i took my parents to Famous Daves last summer...that was actually pretty good. if i go out to eat, it's usually a $50-100 a person kind of place. other than that, it's a small cafe-type place that serves middle eastern or mediterranean food. light and refreshing.
those chains are what they are. lots of people eat at them and don't suffer "hospitalization." for a cheap, convenient meal they aren't that bad. if they contain too much sodium (which most chinese restaurants do...even mom and pop places. i'm convinced there's a central distributer for chinese restaurant starter kits. they all have the same lighted menu with pictures of the food that looks nothing like what you get.) then don't eat there. it's only $10 to $15.
spend 3 weeks hiking and backpacking around sub-saharan africa, and let me know if those places are so horrible.
