===Hello, My name is Chris Moloney and I work in the department of food education at "Healthy Living". My job is to educate you on what you eat, and what it does to your body. I have created a series of graphs and charts to compare bad food choices at McDonald's, and good better choices at McDonald's. This is what my studies showed... ===

The caloric difference between the meals is 1200 g. (Poor choice- 2170, Better Chioce- 970).The difference in fat grams between the meals is 31.5 g. (Poor choice- 79, Better Choice- 47.5). The difference between milligrams of sodium is 2040 mg. (Poor choice- 3100, Better Choice- 1060). The difference in saturated fat is 34 g. (Poor choice- 45, Better Choice- 11). If fast food was never created in this country today, many peoples lives would be different. Eating habits would be much different and much smaller quantitys of food would be eaten per meal. After analyzing my information, I can conclude that no choice at McDonald's is really a healthy choice. There are better choices than some foods, like the Vanilla reduced fat ice cream. However, it still has 150 calories, 3.5 grams of total fat, 60 milligrams of sodium, and 2 grams of saturated fat in a very small serving. In conclusion, eating at McDonald's, or any fast-food restaurant, is something your body will want to saty away from.

When Mr.Spurlock went to different McDonald's in search of nutrition charts, he could not read them or there was not one at all! This was because McDonald's did not want to see customers being driven away by the poor nutrition of the food, they wanted them to buy it. Mr. Spurlock went through many change during his McDonald-ization. His body fat raised and he was physically out of shape, he felt depressed and felt like the food made his life better, and he was socially hostile on some days. McDonald's does try to lure children to their restaurant. They make colorful icons, like Ronald McDonald. They also offer "Happy Meals" that include a toy to try to lure children to the restaurant. In Supersize Me, children were asked who some icons were and most children recognized Ronald McDonald from commercials on TV. Fast-food companies would want to lure children to their restaurant so they bug their parents into taking them there to make them stop asking, and their parent may buy food as well. Some schools are not making food but rather they are preparing food. Many schools use frozen food to serve to their students. They say it is a lot easier on the school and on the workers. At another school, they prepare the food daily and fresh, students respond well to the lunches by getting higher grades and by paying more attention to what's going on in class. At my school, we can try to prepare food daily and make healthier and more nataural choices to make for lunch which will increase students grades and attention in class.
