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

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?

1. Fast food uses a lot of preservatives in order to keep it from spoiling. All those preservatives are not good for you.

2. Fast food often used processed food, which has been link to cancer. Not all processed food is bad.

3. Fast food often means deep fried, and all that fat can’t be good for you.

Restaurant foods are somewhat healthier than fast foods because the food is prepared fresh when you order it. The food tend to have less preservatives, and they’re usually not processed. Hopefully the oil isn’t reused over and over again. Once oil reaches past it’s smoking point, it becomes bad to your health.

Homemade food is usually healthier because you control what goes in it. If you don’t want to use MSG, you don’t have to. If you want to use less salt, you can. If you want to use olive oil instead of lard, you can.

All the junk that the fast food places serve has been deep fried, so they can get it to u quicker. They all put a ton of stuff in the food to keep it from spoiling.
