One saturated fat meal damages arteries

Every Single Junk Food Meal Damages Your Arteries, New Study Reveals
A single junk food meal -- composed mainly of saturated fat -- is detrimental to the health of the arteries, while no damage occurs after consuming a Mediterranean meal rich in good fats such as mono-and polyunsaturated fatty acids, according to researchers at the University of Montreal-affiliated ÉPIC Center of the Montreal Heart Institute. The Mediterranean meal may even have a positive effect on the arteries.

Maybe you should look for a healthier alternative locally. It's sooo easy to eat wrong when it's tasty, convenient, and cost effective (till you get the hospital bills). I'd experiment, looking for restaurants that provide healthy options.
