U.S. News & World Reports takes a stab at listing the healthiest fast food restaurants.

  1.  Panera Bread
  2. Jason’s Deli
  3. Au Bon Pain
  4. Noodles & Company
  5. Corner Bakery
  6. Chipotle
  7. Atlanta Bread Company
  8. McDonald’s
  9. Einstein Bagel Bros.
  10. Taco Del Mar

 Implyign that everything on the menu is “healthy” is decieving.  For example, a single burrito at Chipotle is likely to have 1,500 calories.

    Who knows about Jason’s Deli? Isn’t it how you order? Extra mayo, ranch dressing anyone?

    Yeah, not sure exactly how McDonald’s ranks healthier than Subway. I put zero value on this report.
