Golden Arches or Golden Gates

 A dollar menu at McDonald's was the best invention ever right? I mean really can you beat the dollar spicy chicken sandwich or beat the McDouble ? As a child, you were brought up on kid's meal with the cartoon figure that came along in the Happy meal's bag. Is this a misrepresentation of unhealthy dieting for humans at an early age? To many, McDonald's is second nature and almost a way of life. On a rarity someone will say,"McDonald's, I hate it" or "McDonald's is the worst place ever". McDonald's  can be a large diet issue due to the fact of its number one selling item, french fries. The world's famous french fries contain 210 calories per serving, in a small. They are one of the most delicious things to have but can be one of the most deadliest within the long run. Super fries contain 610 calories per serving. That's amazing, that's half  of a dieters daily calorie consumption.


     McDonald's with being a large company serves millions and billions humans a day, but its food produce huge quantities of trans fat per serving in every meal. Obesity is a major concern with McDonald's food also. It can be a way of life for many people but can a leading cause of death to many people.
     On the other, It's hard not to stop at a McDonald's because it one on every corner nearby. "Golden Arches" are humans best friends. Just the image itself should leave a thought in the back of one's head. Honestly, the food  is great when you need something "on the run" and "cheap and tasty". The love that humans have for McDonald's  is strong and appreciative one. But are the consequences behind eating this cheap source of paradise worth it?
