When it comes to eating out, you would think that having healthy options to choose from what encourage healthy behavior, right?Wrong. A new study shows that diners are more likely to choose an unhealthy side item, like fries, when they have the option of ordering a salad. In fact, while only 10 percent of study subjects ordered fries from a no-salad menu, 33 percent who had a salad option on their menus ordered fries. Researchers say that different options can sometimes lead to self-indulgent behavior.
Next time you're eating out, don't be fooled!

In the article, the menu was to choose from French fries, chicken nuggets, a baked potato; and salad.
These look like choices from a fast food joint.
Personally, I would not choose salad. Fast food style salad does not appeal to me.
However, I have no problem making a healthy choice by eating at salad bar.
