McNasty Article

The most convincing piece for me was the information about the McDonald's Crispy California Cobb Salad. The fact that with all the additives and the crutons and the dressing, the salad has almost as many calories as a quarter pounder and fries. The sad part is that it has more grams of fat then the quarter pounder and fries. The sad truth is that the so called healthy options are not really healthy at all, in fact some of the "healthy" options actually have more calories and grams of fat then the not so healthy options. If people are trying to lose weight and manage their diet, fast food places are not the options. The healthy parts of the menu are still high in fats and calories and I think if people read this piece they would realize what fast food is actually doing to their bodies and try and find real healthy food that are low in calories and fats that don't come from a fast food restaurant.

I find it surprising how many people actually do think that choosing the "healthy" items from McDonalds is healthy. There are people who do get the salads and a coke, but then there are other people who get two double cheeseburgers, fries, and a diet coke, like the diet is really helping any. I agree if everyone read this article, maybe they would make better decisions.
