Kinda pointed that at the wrong person.

Gary likes some fast food but he also cooks (generally what he mentions
is simple but decent). You are acting like he only eats fast food.
Conversely it seems to be once a month (if that) for him and fast food.

There's some Tavern/Pub he likes and he probably eats there more than
once a month but VB pubs probably aren't like yours. Here it's a given
they will have a Keto, A Vegan, a Vegetarian and some other healthy
selections. Probaby some less healthy ones too but I wouldn't assume
he's not having bowl of local she-crab cream soup with a side garden
salad.

He posted a link to one place he likes and the online menu wasn't bad
at all.
