=**Good vs. Poor Food Choices At McDonald's**=
 * Hey, name is Anne. I'm working for Healthy Living. I've been asked to compare healthy and poor choices at certain fast food restaurants. Fast food is not good for your body. It can contain a lot of fat and calories. However, you can still eat healthy at fast food places if you make the right choices.**

Compare: Reflection: 1) Posters with nutritional information are hard to find at restaurants. This is because the managers want you to buy lots of their food and help them earn money. This however, can be very unhealthy for you. 2) Sensible portions contain just enough of everything to keep your body healthy. Supersized things contain too much of things. Meals are starting to become bigger and bigger because people are getting bigger and they are starting to want more and more of the fast foods. This will result in more obesity in the American population. 3) McDonald's lures young children by offering playgrounds, toys, and kid's meals. They target kids because kids are young, and can't make good decisions. This will help their business. 4) "A box cutter as a chef's tool" means that the kids are being served packaged foods instead of fresh foods. I would recommend that they start cooking real foods to keep the kids healthy and not overweight. It will teach them to eat right.
 * The caloric difference between the healthier food choice and the poor food choice at McDonald's was 2,030 calories.
 * The difference in fat grams was 78 grams.
 * The difference in milligrams of sodium was 2,400 milligrams.
 * The difference in saturated fat was 40.5 grams.
 * Suppose fast food in America never existed. Things would be a lot different - it would be very hard to find obese people in the U.S. Without fast food, people would look, feel,and be much healthier than they are today.
 * Fast food is very fatty and bad for your body. They also contain a lot of calories that you don't really need. If you make the right choices at a fast food restaurant though, you can still be able to eat and stay healthy.
