Hey everyone Anushka here with a post. You know that one post where I blogged on why people should not eat MacDonald's well here is a better version of it:
People Should Stop
Eating At McDonald's
Imagine you are outside with your friends having a great night out, then
suddenly your stomach starts to growl .What do you do? You choose to eat fast
food. What is the most likely place to go to eat? “McDonald's.” McDonald's is also
known as the golden gates and one of the largest fast food restaurants since
April 15, 1955. The food is cheap, appeals to your taste buds and easily available.
But is it good for you? Is it healthy? No, it is not good for your body and I
can give you more than one reason why you should stop eating McDonald food.
One of the things that McDonald's uses to make nuggets and burgers is Pink
Slime. It is actually a paste made up of all bones and meat parts that are
unfit for humans. This is then ground up into a paste. In order to make it fit
for humans to eat, this paste is then washed with a chemical called ammonium
hydroxide which gives it a pink color. The famous food activist Jamie Oliver
showed how this slime was made. He fought against McDonald's in UK and finally
won his battle against McDonald. They had to stop using this pink slime in UK.
In spite of everyone now knowing about Pink Slime, McDonald has not stopped
using it in the rest of the world. This is why McDonald food should not be
eaten.
Another reason why we should not eat McDonald food is the amount of
chemicals that are used to preserve their food. These chemicals stop the food
from going bad, so it can then be stored for a longer time. In a study that was
conducted by a researcher, fries from McDonald were kept in a jar for two
years. The fries looked the same at the end of two years!! There was no mold,
or decay! This proves the amount of chemicals that were used in the fries. The
fries contain potatoes, dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium acid and
other chemicals that I find it difficult to remember. One can only think what
this can do to our body! Do we really want to eat food that is artificial and
full of chemicals? Can we not try to eat normal healthy food? Should we allow McDonald's to do this to our body?
Lastly let’s look at the calories in a McDonald meal. One CBO sandwich
with grilled chicken burger, medium fries and regular McFlurry drink amounts to
1500 calories and 1510 mg of sodium. This proves that McDonald uses fat and
salt to get us addicted to the food. Even with a grilled chicken burger and
regular fries and drinks the calories are more than half of what we should eat
in a day. Is it any wonder then why we have so many people around who are
struggling with weight? This food is the leading cause of obesity, high blood
pressure and heart disease. Therefore this food should be avoided at all costs.
Yes, the McDonald advertisements attract us and we believe that the juicy
burger that we see on T.V is the one that we will get to eat. The truth is that
the burger on T.V is created to look good on T.V while the burger we get in McDonald's is full of meat that is unfit for humans, filled with even more
chemicals that will cause damage to our body and full of fat and salt that will
lead to many diseases. So stop eating food that is not real and start eating
more food that is cooked at home which is real food. If that is not possible
then look for healthy options while eating out. Once we change our minds about
what we eat, we will all be able to live a healthier and happier life.
