McNasty article

The evidence that was the most convincing for me was the fact that one of McDonald's salads had almost as many calories as a Quarter Pounder, and actually had more grams of fat. This made me realize that even though some foods are advertised as being more healthy, we as consumers must take a closer look ourselves. We cannot necessarily trust advertisements or "healthy" labels on food. I think that Crane's article would have opposite effects on different groups of people. Some people who are attempting to be health-conscious would probably take a closer look at the nutrition facts of what they eat, especially at fast-food restaurants. However, I think that those who are already overweight or do not take as much thought in what they eat would just be discouraged by Crane's article. They may get the impression that healthy options are not worth it, and they might as well go for the traditional fatty options.

Out of the criteria that Crane provided, I was most affected by when he was talking about the sandwich from Burger King. It's so true that fast food places will promote their "healthy options" and then when you order it, it comes out looking absolutely disgusting and basically uneatable. Another thing that seems to happen a lot is when you actually take the time the compare the calories between a salad from McDonalds or a Big Mac, there really is not that much of a difference. The truth is, anything you are going to get from a fast food place, is not going to be that healthy for you. If people are really worrying about losing weight and eating healthier, they just need to stay away from the fast food places all together, and go somewhere where they know they can get something that is actually good for you body.
