    Only if it's deep fried in chocolate ;)

    Really cut out the Fries and you're looking good and changing the burgers for some other meat would be better.

    It's not the worst. Deoends on the mode of prep of the burgers (ex grilled vs fried) and what's on them. The only thing that might not be so healthy is the apple pie. But then still not too bad. I think you have found a way to balance the good vs bad lol

    No fried food is healthy, hamburgers are fatty unless you eat one that's 3 oz and then its acceptable in a 2 week period, (sort of) Apple pie, its sugar rich, and sugar is loaded with calories, Its kind of like if your really love it and its your favorite, it's probably not good for you. Sorry

    You can modify the apple pie by making one using Splenda. The hamburgers - use the leanest grade of hamburger you can find (like 97%) and grill it. Not all salads are created equal - make sure your ingredients are healthy and watch that salad dressing! 14 french fries can also be modified if deep fried in a no trans fat oil. The apple and banana are perfect as they are, usually. Oh, and the bun on the hamburger - get rid of it. Or check out the healthier buns made now. And where are your vegetables, like carrot sticks or celery sticks or any other fresh vegetable? You need more vegetable than just the salad. Good luck to you!

    It all depends on what you are eating in between and are you making the hamburgers and fries at home or fast food.
    Fast food is never part of a healthy diet. If you enjoy you hamburgers and fries the best bet is to make it at home where you can control what goes in them,
    Try making hamburgers with extra lean organic meat, or veggie soy patties (low-fat) and instead of deep frying you fries, bake them and even better use sweet patatoes or yams for your fries.
    Fast food has addictive chemicals added into the food, there is one chemical I can't recall the name of it but it is made of milk curds. (gross)
    The apple pie is healthy if you bake it at home and use fresh ingrediants. Pre packaged pies are filled with preservatives and chemicals.
    And try adding more fruit into your diet than apple and banana, Pomagranates are great anti oxidant and they prevent colan cancer

    Splenda is not a good sugar alternative, any of those low fat sweetners are un healthy in the long run for you, try a natural healthy sucranut, it is crystalized sugar cane syrop,
