healthy restaurants

I love Jason's Deli. The reason I first loved it is that all of their food is trans-fat free! And if you've been reading this blog, you know that I can't eat them. I think they are very bad and they make me sick. So it was wonderful to have a place I could eat without having to quiz them about everything on the menu.
They have delicious food, too! Great sandwiches and soups and a big, fresh salad bar. Many of the sandwiches are big enough to split.
Not only are they trans-fat free, they also use organic products as much as they can. Most of their salad bar is organic.
And now, they have eliminated all MSG and they will soon be eliminating all High Fructose Corn syrup. I haven't posted yet on the evils of corn syrup, but I will -- if I remember.
So they are constantly changing to improve the health value of their products.
Plus, they have free ice cream for dessert! (ok, so that's not so healthy, but it's FREE ICE CREAM!)

The Cheesecake Factory uses natural, antibiotic and hormone free meats. They also use wild-caught fish. These are good things. I love knowing that the meat I'm eating is good quality. And who doesn't love The Cheesecake Factory?

There are some local places that offer healthier choices, too. Like Goodtimes Burgers, which are found only in a few western states. And some other more local, family owned places.

Do some research online for your area and see what you can find. I love supporting these places so that maybe other businesses will catch on that there is a demand for healthy, good quality food!
