When you taste McDonald's french fries what do you think? you think yumm. When you taste movie theater popcorn, what do you think? You think yumm.
While everyone's busy saying "yumm", they aren't noticing that the only reason they're saying "yumm", is because those foods are packed full of man- made chemicals and additives.
In a medium sized bag of movie theater popcorn, there is the equivalent of a fast food burger dipped in butter. In a McDonald's 117g fries, there are 370 calories, 170 of them are from fat.
And we wonder why our nation is having issues with obesity.
The thing is, most of us know what we are putting into our bodies. When we pick up a cheeseburger from McDonald's we know very well that we are putting 300 calories into our system's. When we eat 2 bags of chips and a coke we know we are shoving our selves full of sugar and saturated fat. But we don't care.
Some things are the companies fault's. When we walk into Starbucks and order a Venti Caffe Mocha, we have no idea that in that coffee there is 410 calories and 10g of saturated fat, thats like sticking a quarter pounder in a coffee cup.
If people keep ignoring the labels, and if big companies keep stuffing their food with crap, our country, continent, and eventually our world will change incredibly. People will be dying sooner, our healthcare system with become terrible because they’re spending all their time and money curing the obesity, and no one will be happy with themselves when they look in the mirror.
Next time you’re hungry, look at the label. It’s not worth becoming fat for the few minutes that it tastes good.
