Ok then. A word from your local ex McDonalds employee.
Rule one: Anything they say to you about their food is implied as having a '*' at the end of it. Or, they get to lie without it being a liability. Can their food be nutritious? Sure. The Salads, if you but the Grilled Cobb, while not a real Cobb salad, can be nutritous. Note that almost no one buys the Cobb salad, or if they do they don't use the vinagrette dressing, and thus add on gobs of fat and colories. Also note the Cobb, or any other advertised salad, costs one cent less than four double cheeseburgers. Think about that for a minute.
What they neglect to tell you is that all their burgers? To comply with anything -close- to a 2000 calorie a day diet, is to buy a happy meal, not a mighty kids meal, and eat nothing else. That's for an adult. When you eat McDonalds, you're essentially putting trash in your stomach that happens to have some half decent flavoring on it.
How did McDonalds get so popular? That's fairly simple. They started out as a much smaller group, who bought better quality stuff, for a society that didn't think about this stuff. Then, they got bigger, went commerical, and changed their product little by little over time, so no one noticed. When the old man who started all of it died, things just sped up: It always works that way when a company gets left to the guys more interested in earning an extra buck than they are in the people they're serving. The store I work at is a good example, except everyone sees what it's doing. I expect Giant food, atleast in the Ashburn area, to go under any year now.
Anyways! As for the original subject: ... Yeah, even if he was exposing McDonalds if a very visual way, the guy was stupid to think he could survive eatting McDonalds.
... I know after working there for 3 months I was about ready to keel over myself, and I wouldn't always eat their food. O_o
So, Yeah. I think I'm done now. <p>
