This reminded me of when i used to work at fast food joints when I was a kid and they would just throw away tons of food every night, when I asked why they didn't give it to the homeless they said it was against company policy and they would fire anyone that was caught trying to do that.
Truth right here. Pumpkin Pie Blizzard is king of the blizzards. I dont even like pumpkin pie. But in blizzard form its god damn amazing. I get one every october 1st.
Because once, somewhere, a homeless person got ill from eating expired food out of a dumpster and sued the company that owned the dumpster and won a bunch of money.
Taco Bell has had the Fresco menu for a really long time and I think that is supposed to technically be some sort of healthier option, but the never promote it and I never remember it even exists until things like this come up.

The bad thing is, you used to be able to fulfill all 3 criteria by cooking at home rather than going out, but even that isn't really cheap anymore.
You can get decently healthy food at fast food you just have to try a bit. And like you said sodium is generally the killer for most. I remember back when I was trying to gain muscle and didn't want to buy powder I'd just eat at Wendy's for lunch basically every day getting 2x Jr Bacon Cheeseburger w/o mayo + chili. I forget the actual protein off the top of my head but it was like 30g or something. The fat/calories were pretty in check the only killer was sodium. This was back when all this was on the dollar menu so I'd eat for 3 bucks.
