We used to have a restaurant here called Rax. I believe they were a chain
and they might still be in some areas. Their premise was that the food,
while being fast was healthy. Now IMO this was debatable. They did have a
huge salad bar and I always had that. I never tried their sandwiches. I
never was much of a sandwich person.

I think I ate in there twice. They closed due to lack of business.

Not far from there was a place called Macheesemo Mouse. It was purportedly
healthy fast Mexican food. Again, debatable. I never ate in there as I
found the food to be expensive and if I remember correctly had what I
consider weird stuff like soy cheese and tofu in it. They did have a very
cute sign with a mouse on it. But a mouse? Not what I want to look at
while I am eating. They didn't make it either.

We do have Taco Time. They are still in business. They do sell some fried
stuff but have plenty of healthy options. We do eat there, but not often.
