Why is fast food not the same as restaurant food in terms of health?

bigDee asked:


For those that don’t eat fast food because it’s unhealthy, do you eat at restaurants? If so, how is that food different from fast food? I’m not saying it isn’t, I just want to know.

If there is any food from a restaurant that would be just as bad as fast food, what factor decides if its too unhealthy to eat? (with fast food being the standard as too unhealthy to eat)

Also, what makes food cooked at home healthier than fast food? What factors decide whether the food cooked at home is relatively healthy or unhealthy?
