Wendy's vs McDonald's vs Burger King vs Arby's

[Afra]

Hey, is there anyone out there who has been to all four of these restaraunts? If so, could you tell me which restaraunt out of all four is the cheapest, offers the healthiest food, and which is really good for you? I don't like to eat junk food all the time because I get sick if I do. What about Paul Bunyan's? I have never eaten at this restaraunt because people have been telling me the food at this restaraunt is terrible. Is Paul Bunyan's expensive too?

Hey Afra, I've never heard of Paul
Bunyans before, but I did answer the health question in the other posting.
By the way have you ever eaten at Burger Baron ?

[Afra]

No I haven't; I never heard of Burger Baron before. There's no Burger Baron in Idaho. I guess things are different everywhere; that's what I noticed and I also noticed that a lot of stores and restaraunts that are in the north are not in the south and vice versa. And by the way, I did see your response to this topic on the other thread.

I found the nutrition value of their products are on their websites, and it's a little scary. I don't know if I would say that the food is "healthy", but sometime I do have a craving for a burger. And at that point, health be damned Looking at the nutrition value, it looks like there isn't a huge variance in the healthiness of the food. Here's the links to the nutrition portion of the sites.

1. McDonalds - http://www.mcdonalds.com/countries/u...own/index.html (pdf file)
2. Burger King - http://www.burgerking.com/nutrition/burgers.htm
3. Wendy's - http://www.wendys.com/the_menu/nut_frame.html
4. Arby's - http://www.arbys.com/arb06.html
5. In-n-out (my favorite fast food place - california, nevada, and arizona only) - http://www.in-n-out.com/

As for costs, I'm not sure which is cheapest. I do miss the 99 cent whoppers though. Okay, I'm not old enough to remember the 25c burger days, so no kiddie jokes please

But speaking of costs, I remember going back to Asia and my cousins would want to take me out to McDonald's for a nice dinner. To them, McD's was considered a luxury meal and something that you would have when you wanted to treat yourself. Definitely changed my perspective on things.

Thanks for the links to the websites, gratiem! How did you find these sites? I went to all four of them just now and browsed around; I didn't read anything closely yet. I think I shall do so another time when I have more time.

Hey Gratiem, I'm not old enough either, to remember the 25 cent burgers, but I do remember the 25 cent ice cream at Mcdonalds, and my parents tell me that when I was a baby, they could take me with them to Mcdonalds and it was less than a buck for a family dinner, and that was just in 1977.
