I used a Digorno's pizza as reference. On Totino's, I was looking more toward how I've seen family members eat Pizza Rolls, where they have a cereal bowl full and that's fast food territory.
As I said on some of the TV Dinners, they may eek by with fewer calories than a McD meal if you get large fries (small fries bring it down to "comparable"), but the added sugars and sodium make them in some select ways worse.
I'd suggest that the sort of person to be selective about their home diet when faced with fast food is likely to get the better options. I think the "biggie size everything" crowd will have bad at home eating habits, and more careful are likely to do things like skip fries and drink and maybe have a smaller sandwich.
I just have the general impression that people think the choices are:
When I'm reasonably sure the people that go all in on unhealthy fast food are filling bowls of pizza rolls and pouring from the 2 liter soda bottles, which is hardly better.
Undoubtedly it is easier to eat healthy at home (portion control, having the right ingredients), but just not sure "once they can't afford fast food they'll be on the road to healthier eating" will work out, as has been commonly expressed in this thread.
It's a reasonable assumption. But hell...I think even a bucket of pizza rolls is still slightly healthier for you than a super sized value meal.
I don't disagree with you. But I think even the the most unholy compulsive eater will do a little better if they can get away from fast foods.
