Some groups have higher suicide rates than others. It is the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-34, the fourth leading cause among people ages 35-44, and the fifth leading cause among people ages 45-54. In 2019, 12 million American adults seriously thought about suicide, 3.5 million planned a suicide attempt, and 1.4 million attempted suicide. 3 The number of people who think about or attempt suicide is even higher. 3 It was responsible for more than 47,500 deaths in 2019, which is about one death every 11 minutes. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. Burger." And for Dairy Queen, I used their "Homestyle Burger.Suicide rates increased 33% between 19, with a small decline in 2019. Hamburger." For Carl's Jr, I used their "Big Hamburger." For Sonic I used their "Jr. If the restaurant did not have anything simply called "Hamburger," I went with their next most similar and comparable product instead. Notes: For this comparison I used each restaurant's most basic hamburger.While the nutrition facts of each fast food restaurant's most basic hamburger were somewhat similar in some cases, the "Big Hamburger" from Carl's Jr is my pick for the worst in this comparison simply based on being the highest in calories and sodium. Hamburger on the other hand does pull it off, and combined with being the second lowest in nearly all of the other nutrition facts, they certainly end up as one of the better basic fast food hamburgers. You'd think with a burger that size they would be able to pull off 0 trans fat per serving. Due to the below average serving size, all but one of its nutrition facts were the lowest in this comparison. And, when it comes to making the least-bad fast food choice, tiny = good. This one should come as no surprise to anyone who has ever seen a White Castle hamburger. Best: White Castle (regular) & Wendy's (Jr.For White Castle it was "Sack," and for Del Taco it was "Medium." So, I instead used whatever that restaurant's largest size was. In two cases however, there was no "large" version. Notes: For this comparison, I tried to use each fast food restaurant's "Large" french fries.Of all of the items being compared in this entire comparison, french fries are easily one of the worst all around trans fat offenders. White Castle's basic fries were also picked here not so much for calories (although at 700, it was right up there in second place) but because of it containing more trans fat (11 evil grams) than any of the others. In the end, I went with Dairy Queen's basic fries for being the highest in calories (seriously, 730 calorie fries? Yikes.) and sodium. It was hard to pick an official worst choice here, as there was a lot of trans fat being thrown around. Worst: Dairy Queen (regular) & White Castle (regular).Not to mention, with 0 grams of trans fat, it was one of just two large french fries that contained 0 grams. Due to having the smallest serving size of all of the other fast food restaurants, their large fries ended up being the lowest in every single one of the compared nutrition facts. Sonic's basic french fries are my pick for the best of this comparison. Therefore, they were also not taken into account when showing the best/worst french fries. ** In-N-Out Burger and Popeyes had one item listed as just "French Fries." No actual size (large, small, etc.) was given. Be sure to check it out for clarifications on anything that may seem unclear. *NOTE #2* Any questions you may have about anything you see in this fast food comparison is most likely answered at the bottom of this very page or in the "Notes" of each comparison. Clicking it again will sort it from highest to lowest. Clicking a category (calories, fat, trans fat, etc.) will sort the data in that column from lowest to highest. If this isn't enough to convince you to eat less (or none) of this stuff, it will at least give you the information you need to make the better choice and avoid making the worst one. To show this, I've compared the nutrition facts of the most popular foods from over 20 popular fast food restaurants to see how each restaurant's version of the same food stacks up against the others. So I figured, if you are still going to eat this junk, you might as well at least know which is the best of the worst, and which is the worst of the worst. The fast food restaurants continue to do just fine because people continue to eat their unhealthy food. The funny thing is, most of the world doesn't seem to care. Long story short, it's the kind of food you want to avoid eating.īut, you probably know this already. The majority of the foods served at fast food restaurants contain an insane amount of calories, tons of fat (including the very evil trans fat), and are high in pretty much everything else that you'd want your food to be low in. That's pretty much common knowledge these days.
