McDonalds…gag me with a spoon!

I have always thought of McDonald’s as just another fattening fast food resturant…until now. Today in hospitality class we watched Supersize Me. Normally I have a very strong stomach! I can watch Fringe and CSI without a problem, but something about that movie made my stomach turn!

Did you know that only seven items on McDonald’s entire menu contains no sugar, and the salad is not one of them? Have you ever enjoyed a McNugget? This is how they are made: the weakest, oldest chickens are bought at cheap prices, thrown into a grinder after the feathers are plucked, mashed together (blood and bones and all), mixed with preservatives, additives, and chemicals, and then stamped into familiar shapes to be packaged and served. I don’t know about you, but that is GROSS!

After I watched it, I had this huge urge to go home and eat the biggest, most healthy salad of my life. I guess I really need to watch stuff like that more often!

I don’t have the energy to get all riled up about this tonight, so this is where I sign off. Goodnight, my dear loyal fans!! 🙂
