Task: In this assignment, compare two similar foods from two different fast-food restaurants. Need to find the nutritional analysis of the two foods from the two vendors. Please don't select the same company to compare. Instead, choose similar foods from two different restaurants; for example, select a McDonald's Big Mac and compare it to the In and Out Double burger. It may be helpful to research the food you often eat to the food you do not consume often.
