I’d welcome good vegetarian cooking in our restaurants, but I question some of your ideas of healthy eating. You are definitely right that vegetarian doesn’t necessarily equate with healthy.

Sourdough is less unhealthy than regular white bread. Sauteed is better than deep fried. Pan-seared is better than deep-fried. When we are looking at dining out options - the goal would be to try "less unhealthy" menu selections, not "healthy" menu selections.
Most options will be unhealthy to one degree or another. Sure steamed foods are healthier, as opposed to less unhealthy. But steamed foods are bland, and require sauces or seasonings which may or may not reduce those foods to becoming less healthy. If the end result is less unhealthy, then - when spending extra money to eat it at a restaurant instead of making it yourself, it'd be great to start out with less unhealthy foods that are prepared and served to be delicious. Steamed broccoli is not my idea of delicious.
