"Salad is a necessity, a type of proto-Soylent... it says, 'I�m taking care of a basic bodily need, but it�s just crunchy water!'"

"Salad, at its best, feels like a strategically good choice without being truly satisfying to the soul, like dating someone who�s not that smart, but has a beach-adjacent timeshare. Salad has its faults, and it knows it. It�s healthy, but it will never win the popularity contest against your Chipotle burritos, or even your Quizno�s subs. So the one thing salad should really never be is less healthy than a Big Mac.... And yet, a new report from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine points out 100 restaurant salads that are 'worse' than a Big Mac."
