Very few, but that doesn't really matter. Once a day is pretty bad.

The goal of the docu-editorial was to make a point about the fast food
industry. And that is that the increasing (and believe it, it
increasing) reliance of Americans on fast food as a major portion of
their diet is unhealthy, and just exactly how unhealthy it is.

As pointed out above, you can get a pretty healthy meal there, but few
people do.

Was the test outside the norm? Sure. Does that invalidate what he says?
No.
