The Troubles with Ronald McDonald

Every since I was a young girl I have been friends with Mr. Ronald McDonald and his business McDonald’s. Being one of the most popular fast food restaurants, McDonald’s is depicted as the king of American hamburgers and French fries in more countries than expected. However, even the king can be quite mean and cause some problems. McDonald’s sells food that has been drenched in calories, sodium, and fat. There are now large problems arising from kids whom have been exposed to McDonald’s for many years. The younger that kids are when they start eating the food, the harder that it is to stop eating it in the future.

Now I am not going to lie by dissing on the quality of their food, but I would say that it is not necessarily the healthiest place to eat every single day. Actually this was proved through the movie Supersize Me, as Morgan Spurlock gained weight and built up a high blood pressure from only eating McDonald’s meals. The French fries are drenched in oil and the hamburgers are grilled to a crisp, almost an open invitation to heart disease. And this is exactly what foods like this can do to your body. From the time that that first McDonald’s was opened in 1940, it has created more and more varieties of the same unhealthy sandwiches and desserts.

It is just amazing to me that people continue to shop at these stories that are proven to kill them slowly. The entire process is a disgrace to the American society and the idea to which our culture has grown to accept it. Maybe it has to do with the advertising that the company displays across millions of televisions, billboards, and magazines. But, even so, families should realize that such foods can be a real health problem to their young developing children. Some people are actually responding to this astonishing discovery by not eating the fattening foods that can be found on the menu. This is then providing some terrible problems for the McDonald’s companies, by making them lose money.

There is so much more that can be assessed about the effects of McDonald’s on its customers and the impact will be felt for many years to come. In the future I would enjoy spending more time researching this topic but I feel like I have discussed some very interesting facts. Since I was a young child my exposure to McDonald’s has been felt in my family. I don not want to have to loose a close friend or family member to such a disgraceful sin of eating fat fried food. In the future McDonald’s will continue to suffer from their deadly measures and the food that they continue to cook for hungry customers.
