Yeah, that's exactly the food I was thinking of.

Cheeseburger + chocolate milk shake. Quinoa with kale.

What would you say is more healthy? The comparison is idiotic.

If a person suffers anorexia their whole diet is unhealthy and has to become healthy. Their relationship with food is also unhealthy.

The former is much more suitable meal for someone having difficulties meeting their caloric needs. If they have it couple of times a day every day, then we know the diet is unhealthy.

The latter can be a nice addition to a healthy diet.

The amount of downvotes on my first comment means that quite a lot of community here have an unhealthy relationship with food.

Checkout the link above. I hope it'll improve your relationship with food.

Everything in moderation, I read a report a while back about the people who provide food for post operative care (iirc it was mostly eldery people) where they threw out the normal diet guidelines and went for "stodge", pasta, custard, pies, cake - basically anything that was easy to digest and high in calories as they found that gave the best outcome post surgery.

It wouldn't be the diet you'd eat in other circumstances but context matters.
