This article from the New York Times should give the Health Nazis something to chew on... "Want Salad With That? Make It Fries
"Fast-food chains have recently deflected criticism of their menu offerings by adding healthy items like salads.
"But a paper soon to be released in the Journal of Consumer Research suggests that the presence of healthy options on a menu can induce some diners to eat less healthily than they otherwise would.
"“When you consider the healthy option, you say, well, I could have that option,” said Keith Wilcox, a doctoral candidate at Baruch College who is one of the paper’s four authors. “That lowers your guard, leading to self-indulgent behavior.”"
