Well, the "safer" (using the term *very* lightly) way would be to have three
people in roughly the same physical shape do the different restaurants for
30 days. Monitor their health the entire time and see who's in the worse
shape in the end.
I think, also, there would have to be some tracking of their choices for the
most accurate results. After all, someone who goes to McD's every day and
eats salad for say, 2 of the three meals, would be alot different than
someone at Jack in The Box eating sourdough bacon burgers every day.
Still and all, I wouldn't do it on a bet.
