McNasty

The thing that stood out to me was that fast food chains such as McDonald's, Burger King, and Taco Bell all have a "healthful" menu, but in reality they are disgusting to eat. This holds very true. When those "healthy" foods are good, then it is probably because the croutons and dressing are actually more fattening, like McDonald's Crispy California Cobb. If there is more grams of fat and only a little less calories than a Quarter Pounder, then why not eat what you really want? Crane broke up every individual ingredient to show that after putting it all together it is not much healthier, although, that is how they advertise it. Another thing is the old processed chicken nuggets of white and dark meat were replaced with real white meat, and they are not only healthier but also delicious and better than the ones before. If fast food chains could only do this to all their meals they would greatly benefit, as well as, the obesity in society would go down. I think there is really one side to this evaluation, by this I mean that most people would agree to this, because it isn't like someone wants to be less healthy and thinks that fast food is a very reliable source of food. Most people either don't care if the food is fating or they do care but eat it anyways. They get a lean chicken wrap with french fries, and people believe that this is healthy.
