I suspect that the people who actually care about healthy eating wouldn't of gone to the fast food place in the first place.

Depends how fast-foody we're talking. Bella Italia, McDonalds or a chip shop. If you go in with your friends because they want to pick something up while you're out shopping, you may well want something healthier than they do.

True. Although would suspect that friends would generally go to similar types of food places. Also Malls in states often have food courts. Would be interesting to see abreakdown on type of fastfood place and who its clientel were (e.g. socioeconomic group, by freeway, shopping center, etc.)
