I went for a walk today during lunch, and walked past a McDonand’s. The smell of the grease sickened me to no end, but I did notice one thing. For every young person in there, there was just as many of the geriatric crowd. I think it is sick getting everyone hooked on that food. I was as a kid, and I am paying the price now. I do not eat any fast food, and I am in the midst of losing weight. Obesity in American (and the developed world) is at epidemic proportions, and no one seems to be doing anything about it. Yeah, they stopped the super size at McDonalds, but, one typical meal there is 120% to 180% of your recommended daily caloric intake and over 300% of the fat you should be eating. We need to save the young and the old from this menace. It is more than just one chain, turn on the T.V. and all you see is food adds. Everything from ‘bucket of love’ KFC, to Pizza Hut (I don’t know how they call that sauceless grease disc a pizza), to the dozens of other food chains advertising. Will the madness ever stop?
