Their food is not healthy any way you look at it. Tallow is worse also. Just a look at their menu, the children's shakes and desserts etc. are full of excess sugar, lol. How is that healthy? One example: kids vanilla shake- 400 calories, 13g fat/9g saturated fat, 63g carbohydrates/ 54g from sugars
9g protein, 55 cholesterol, 230 mg sodium. I can't find the specific ingredients it says contains dairy and soy, vanilla syrup, home made ice cream and whipped cream. I am guessing the vanilla syrup could have corn syrup instead of sugar which is worse.

Beverages; tea: 250 calories, 64 carbohydrates/61 sugars, 25mg sodium. Ingredients pure cane sugar and brewed tea. The amount of carbs is way more than I would eat in a meal, in one drink. The sugar is unneeded obviously.

Since when are french fries and burgers and shakes etc. healthy, lol. Theirs are high in fat and carbs. The adult specialty shakes have on average 94-112 carbs- 690 calories!! 24g of fat, 360 sodium, 111 carbs/92g sugar and 9 g protein, for the cookies and cream. The calories alone are way more than anyone should eat in one meal, the sugar is excessive.

* Adding- here is nutritional content for a strawberry shake and it does contain corn syrup & high fructose corn syrup as well as sugar, which is bad for you and which is cheaper than sugar. It's later in the ingredients list but still it's still bad to have it at all.

Edited to add that many here don’t seem to know that it is the combo of high fat and high carb that is bad. This happened when low fat and less animal fat/ meat was recommended and they started dumping sugar/ carbs in everything instead.
