McDonalds and how there food is bad for you

Mcdonalds is a very well known fast food restaurant and very American. You probably went there at one point or another to buy food for yourself or a happy meal for your kids. You may have heard many times from people that they are unhealthy and their food is gross, but they don't tell you what is actually in the "food". The "meat" that they use for the burgers is only 5% meat and that 5% is not even beef. What they do to create the patty is they use something called "pink slime" that is man made and comes out of a tube in a factory that workers put in a box to ship to fast food restaurants to be shaped into a patty. That 5% meat that I told you about comes from the sticky and spongy fat and tissue that is stuck to the animals bones that is pried off of the bone. Thus, that tasty fast food big mac that you have been looking forward to all weekend. When they are formed into patties, cooked, and frozen for shipping, they re-cook them and dip them into a blue solution to affect the taste of the "meat". This blue solution affects the brain into remembering that taste and affecting your brain into wanting more of it. It makes your brain crave it, even if you don't want to.

There fries are salty, greasy goodness in a bag right? Wrong! Most of the time they are undercooked and barley filled to the top of the cup so Mcdonalds can save an extra buck. The fries don't mold from too much preservatives. Thats right, it doesn't mold! EWWWWW!!!!!  This sicks me out more than the pink slime because potatoes (such in the form as a fry) are supposed to mold. Wendy's fries mold after about three days. If you don't believe what I say about them not molding, then you can try it yourself. Keep a Mcdonalds fry in a ziploc baggy or container of a sort and keep it to see if it molds. I did this test myself and I kept it for four years without it molding, but one of my parents accidentally threw it out, So I couldn't keep on the investigation.
