Simple rule, if it tastes good it is unhealthy.

And if I am paying relatively decent amount of money I will pick something that tastes good. Why would I go out of my way and get unseasoned steamed vegetables in restaurant? Or salad without sauce...

That’s a stupid rule. It’s easy to homecook delicious and healthy meals. Don’t use healthiness as an excuse to make food without sauce or seasoning.

Vegetable salad with a bit of olive oil and salt/pepper is delicious and very healthy. Most Americans just don’t know how to eat.

But would you buy that at a restaurant? I will always get something extravagant and probably unhealthy because if it weren’t I would just make it at home.

Of course. I grew up with it and I literally always crave a good salad. Most Middle Easterns do.

Sure, why not? I don't go to restaurants (usually) because I'm getting something I can't make at home.

Healthy food doesn't mean unseasoned food.
