Our friends at World Atlas have published a list of the top 10 most unhealthy restaurants in the U.S.

Almost every one of them is found in Alabama. And most of them are very popular.

One thing about Alabama is that we do not have a shortage of fast food choices in most of our cities and communities.

Many of my favorites made the list. Can we agree that all things in moderation are a smart approach?

World Atlas took several factors into consideration, from counting calories of menu items to how the fast food is prepared.

And now your 10 most unhealthy fast food restaurants, according to World Atlas:

#10. Chick-fil-A
#9. Little Caesars
#8. Smashburger
#7. McDonald’s
#6. Quiznos
#5. KFC
#4. Dairy Queen
#3. Taco Bell
#2. Sonic
#1. Wendy’s

OK, I am surprised by a few of these on the list.Chick-Fil-a kinda surprises me, even though I understand that it is fried food.

The others I'm in denial about because I love the food. I know KFC, Sonic, and Wendy's probably aren't "healthy" choices, but they are so conveniently located near my house in Northport, Alabama.

I confess I’ve had them all, except for Smashburger. And after researching the World Atlas list, I’m craving one of each. All things in moderation. All things in moderation. All things in moderation.

Isn't that what the health experts tell us? If not, please don't burst my bubble.
