Hollywood restaurant claims "healthy fast food"

Healthy fast food? Could there really be such a thing? A West Hollywood restaurant in California called O!burger seems to think so, and they're not talking cold sub sandwiches either. Burgers, fries, and shakes make up a good part of their menu, along with veggie burgers, yogurt smoothies, and salads.

Their main claim to fame (and health) is that they're 100% organic and striving to be eco-friendly in every way they can. They do have a healthy sounding veggie burger made of spinach and corn, but no mention of fat grams or calories. Is being organic enough to make such a broad claim like "healthy?" Unfortunately I don't live in the area and can't go try it for myself but if you do then give it a shot and let us know what you think!

Well...people are going to argue me to no end, but calories don't matter if it's high quality food (you think you body will use 100 calories of lentils the same way it will use 100 calories of white bread? think again!)

Sooooo, my only concern for this restaurant is if their meats aren't free range, and their oils are vegetable based. But I'm willing to bet they're going to use canola oil. Boo.
