My name is John Smith and I work for healthy living. On this page you will see how ordering healthy at a fast food resteraunt makes a difference.



I compared eight different items at a Wendys, and made a table for healthy and poor choices. By looking at this graph it will help you minimize the unhealthy intake of calories, fat, sodium, and saturated fat. The caloric difference between the healthy choices and poor choices is1550 calories. The fat difference between both better choices and poor choices is 63 grams. The sodium difference between the healthy choices and poor choices is 1460 milligrams of sodium. The saturated fat difference between the healthy choices and poor choices is 28 grams of saturated fat. If fast food never existed many of the American people would not be overweight. Fast food is very convenient and easy, that is why so many Americans eat it, even though it is not healthy. Fast food restaurants offer both items that are more healthy than others, and if you know what to order you will greatly reduce the amount of calories, sodium, total fat, and saturated fat. Fast food is not healthy for you but if you make the right choices you will minimize the risk of getting ill or overweight.

McDonalds does cater to kids in many ways, and this is one of the reasons McDonalds is a huge company. They cater to kids in many ways, one way they do it is by having little toys in their kids meal. This gives parents an incentive to buy their kids meal for their kids. Some locations have play areas in their restaurant, so kids can play while they wait for their food or if their done eating and they have to wait for their parents. This also gives kids a reason to come back. They also offer birthday parties for kids with entertainment and food. This gives parents an easy way to plan a party because McDonalds provides the entertainment, food, and cake. Finally, they have a clown mascot which is a person most kids like. Since kids like clowns so much they listen to what he says about coming in to eat at McDonalds, and this also offers kids some entertainment. This is why McDonalds cater to kids.

Portion size is very important to living a healthy life, but some places do not offer any sensible portions. McDonalds portions are very large and unhealthy, even the small! The only sensible portion is the extra small size. They also offer super size portions which are very large. A super size portion can consist of a 64 ounce soda, a triple cheese burger, and french fry container twice the size of a large. A sensible portion would consist of a 16 ounce soda, a single cheese burger, and a small container of fries. Portion size has changed throughout the years if the super size meal option existed as it did today, back in the day it would be considered uneatable because of its size. Back in the day a large drink would be considered our small drink. Even someone that they interviewed in the movie was from France and she said her large is our extra-small. This shows what is the difference between a sensible portion and super size and how portion size has changed throughout the year.

Morgan experience physical, emotional, and social changes throughout his McDonald-ization. He experienced physical change in many ways, some ways were that he had a weight gain, he had higher blood pressure, an increase in cholesterol, his sugar level was very high, and he felt his chest throbbing. He experienced emotional changes too, one of those changes were that he felt depressed when he did not have McDonalds, and because he was depressed he did not want to talk to people which is a social change that he experienced throughout this process.These are some of the changes Morgan experienced during his McDonald-ization.

Mr. Spurlock travels to many McDonalds in search of their nutritional facts info, and he cannot find in some locations while others have it in the basement. They make this info difficult to discover because they know their food is not healthy and that it can hurt people. This is also a business technique they use because if someone saw the nutrional info of what they are eating at McDonalds they would not eat it, which in turn causes McDonalds to lose money. This person could also tell other people they know which would make McDonalds lose even more money, and the McDonalds cooperates do not want to lose money. They also do this because no one figures to ask about nutrition, so they figure they do not need to have it because no one ever asks them about it. This is why Mr.Spurlock had a hard time finding the nutrition info.
