McDonalds Has Responsibility turbo Nov 05, 11:46 AM [ Reply ]
McDonalds and the other fast food companies have an undeniable responsibility for the widening of the American waistline.
Yes, it is each individual's responsibility to make healthy choices and eat things that are good for them.
However, some people simply have not had access to information that would educate them on the dangers of fast food and the importance of good nutrition. These same people probably have children and now they are modeling bad choices for their children. People really do not know just how bad fast food is. Some are misled by marketing of salads and chicken options which often times have as many calories as the burgers.
Don't think that just because you know fast food is bad for you that everyone else knows it, too. Some people really don't know that their lethargy, headaches, depression, mood swings, etc. are directly related to high sugar and high carb diets.
Food is addictive.
McDonalds has $2 billion to spend convincing them that it is ok, it is good, it is fun to eat there.
Farmers and nutritionists don't have any money to advertise the benefits of a healthy diet.
I suspect that if more people were informed and educated that they would make better choices. I think that is what Morgan has done with SuperSize Me. Many people write in the the message board, to say thank you and that they have changed some bad habits of eating fast food. We need more awareness, more education and more communication to battle the illusion McDonalds presents in their marketing.
