Fast-food restaurant chains like McDonald's are criticized by "nutritionist and dietitians.Fast-food restaurants still target poor people.since the poor are looking for cheap meals,fast-food restaurants like McDonald's use their "super size" gimmicks to get more poor customers to eat at McDonald's.The super size
combo meal has 1,340 calories compared to the regular meal at 680 calories.Due to my personal experience with fast-food restaurants,what the article suggests is true.
An experience I had with fast-food proves the article's claim.One afternoon,at a McDonald's,I ate the Angus mushroom and Swiss and combo.The combo came with medium sized fries and a medium sized soda. When I finished eating the meal,I looked at the nutrition facts,to know what I ate.After I looked at the nutrition facts,the calories for the Angus burger were 380 calories.After I looked at the calories from the burger,I then looked at the calories from the fries and the soda.The fries had 120 calories and the soda had 140 calories. When I added the calories of the entire meal, it was half a day's worth of calories.
When you eat one fast-food combo,you are eating half a day's worth of calories.If you eat half the day's worth of calories,the calories you consume will be unused fat if not burned out.Excessive fat leads to diabetes,obesity,and heart attacks
