Fast Food Health Options are a Failure
Fast food restaurants have gone on a health craze over the last five years with a range of fast food health options on their menus that are meant to give them a better image and deflect criticism. However, according to research from Griffith University's Louise Atkinson, these healthier options are not being embraced by fast food customers.
In a survey of 1,000 customers, very few showed any interest in making healthy choices, with only 2.5% actually choosing these options. It's likely that people who go to fast food chains are not going there for health food, and these customers are sending a clear message to the fast food chains through their choices. The low uptake of the healthier menu options means they are not a big income generator for the restaurants, so it is questionable how long they will continue to be available.
