They would have to be more careful with portions and show the carb numbers in each.

I'd like to see healthy food in restaurants, too. But the prices would probably be prohibitive--inconsistent with the notion of fast food. Right now they can serve satisfying portions cheap because they're all carbs and fat. They make their money on hamburger rolls and soft drinks with a teeny bit of the cost attributed to tomato and lettuce.

I just don't know what they would serve in such a restaurant. Certainly nothing that cost less than ten bucks. My best current choice for a semi-fast-food meal is a kabob--hold the bread and rice--ten bucks. I doubt most people would be willing to pay ten bucks for eight cubes of grilled meat. I've noticed that some places have started serving it on a bed of lettuce as an alternative to bread or rice. Better, but still not likely to compete with McD's dollar menu.
