Even if you order the healthiest sounding dish, like fish with veggies, most restaurants still use butter and cheap oils to make almost everything on the menu. Chefs don't usually cook with Olive Oil because it's expensive, whereas butter and Vegetable oils (Canola, Sunflower, Safflower, Soybean) are cheaper, but have saturated fat and cause inflammation in the body. Fried foods obviously require oil but when veggies are sautéed in canola oil, or a cheap oil is in the salad dressing, it takes a meal from healthy to unhealthy quickly. So what can you do?
