In india veg is everyday meal.
smh, my sweetgreen go-to costs me 15$ all in…and im still hungry after
Its all about marketing.. just like Starbucks and other specialty restaurants the prices they charge for basic food items is ridiculous…
Think about this you can spend $12-17 for one salad during lunch or you can apply some basic economics. Go to your local grocery store get the lettuce(its different variations), or pack of mixed greens, sweet potato, can of chickpeas, a sm pack of pre-cooked chicken strips, a pack of seeds or nuts, cauliflower (if thats your thing), croutons and your desired sauce for about $25( the cost will vary more or less depending on where you live). Do a meal prep and eat salad with those same ingredients for 3 to 4 days during lunch. Spending $25 once a week is more practical verses $12-17 per day… but I understand convenience sells and these salad companies are racking up.
This is a bullshit video. avoids bad mouthing anything and namedrops brands
Capitalism ho!
“Salad was just not a full meal” And it never became so?…
I bet those prices are way higher now , a salad at Chick-fil-A is about $10 now
Where I live I don’t have ANY of these places near me, nothing close is healthy salad bars
Jello salads look so disgusting I wanna throw up 😍
I feel like this was just a Sweetgreen ad. "Falafel, tofu, lentis….have made it possible for a salad to become a complete meal" Lol ok yeah because we didn't have chicken breast with almonds, tomatoes, and a drizzle of olive oil on a bed of romaine before the falafel salad
I think this might be the most frustrating, white-washed feature video I've ever watched.
I rather eat my boring cheap salads. Lettuce, onion, tuna and vinegar. When I feel fancy I replace the tuna with some cured cheese, nuts and apple.
I make my own giant salads that are just as delicious as anything you can get at a restaurant and it must cost me like $2 or so a serving. Just make your own all you gotta do it chop vegetables
Ig they couldn't find good stock footage for salads .. the dude just went to town with a stack of 1$ bills and a overpriced salad.
I got 2 McDoubles extra pickles with a Mcflurry( Oreo and M&M) for under $5. Free McFlurry w/ purchase 🥵
I currently live in New Zealand and I’m thinking $12! Damn that’s cheap! You’d pay $22+ for a salad like that, and they usually lack flavour loll
$12 for that? No thanks…
Honestly it scares me how expensive good quality fresh veggies are in the us! Make me a v grateful Brit
I just paid $22 for mine wym $12
Salad and Go? The best
This is the stupidity of people that I don’t understand… you can go to the grocery store and buy all the ingredients to make these salads at least 4x and it won’t even cost $12…
"Salad restaurants have been growing like crazy"
Me who lives in the South and only recognized one of the salad chains: Oh really?
I can't remember having an American salad in my life, because I never had one in the first place T_T
What if that place with the prepackaged salads made refrigerated salad vending machines?
Nothing screams US more than this video, it would be great if you made some comparison to the EU or some European countries. I feel like the US has been behind on eating veggies for a long time and that these videos should reflect that it is perhaps more of a US problem. Just my 2 cents as a European/Scandinavian viewer.
And other countries it’s like the cheapest thing 🫢
cause bro.. falafel is fried and not healthy. People are delusional
looks like shit.
Don’t waste good food for the sake of a video, so pointless
