the truth about mcdonalds (what you might wanna know about your so-called food.)

It's everywhere you look! It's almost every other television commercial! It's almost every other meal! McDonald's is taking over the world! Being a teenage girl means loving fast food. Am i right? And if you don't think so, try to count how many burgers you've had this month. Even if you don't realize it, 3 out of 5 teenagers will answer McDonald's as their favorite restaurant. Even the girls. And if you're one of the people trying to keep your slim curvy figure, your gonna be surprised with what your putting into your body.
There was a documentary that i watched called Supersize Me. A guy took a challenge to eat McDonald's for breakfast, lunch and dinner, nothing else, for an entire month. If it didn't mess up his health, it would be proven that McDonald's had nothing to do with bad health. To add onto the challenge, every time he was asked, "Do you want that super sized?" he would be obligated to say yes. On the fifth day, he had his first super sized meal. Huge fries, huge soda, huge big mac. He puked when he was almost done. After i think a week, he gained 8 pounds! That's a lot for one week don't you think? By the time the end of the month came, he damaged his liver as if he was drinking alcohol 24/7! If he was drinking beer on top of the McDonald's, he would of died at this point. Do you want to screw up your liver? You need it right? Do you think McDonald's is good now? 2 out of 5 American children become overweight by the time they're 8 years old, obese by the age of 15, and morbidly obese by maybe 29. They gain 80% of their whole lifes weight in their early childhood! That's insane! That's not healthy!
