    Calories, maybe. Definitely not nutrition, unless McDonald’s gives you a free multivitamin and Ensure with every Big Mac.

      Yes, I was mostly referencing calories, and more specifically referencing fast food salads. You’re right that even if the calories are equivalent the micronutrient value of the salad is likely better.

        Oh, yeah, their salads are trash. A fistful of iceberg and a gallon of thousand island.

        I was referring to “quickly prepared” food places, like delis, or health food quick-order restaurants. They have to charge $20 a salad because the ingredients aren’t subsidized like corn. Well, unless you get soybeans in your salad.

          Coincidentally soy is one of my favorite home cooking ingredients! Tofu, TVP, and especially soy curls.

            I eat it too. I love edamame. It’s just not a common salad ingredient due to its lack of stabability.
