Fast Food

1. They say: Each day, 1 in 4 Americans visits a fast food restaurant.

Well, what can I say? Some people would rather eat at fast food places than actually cook a meal.



2. They say: French fries are the most eaten vegetable in America

The french fry is considered a vegetable? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! This can't be right, it just can't be. I'm sorry, but there is no way that I consider the french fry a vegetable. The only reason they consider a french fry to be a vegetable is because their obviously overweight/obese children think that it is a vegetable because they eat nothing but McDonald's every night. Part of me also blames the FDA for this. According to them, ketchup is a vegetable. Yikes!!!



3. They say: One in every three children born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime

Sad, isn't it? However, it's a very grim reality. Some children would rather sit on their asses and do nothing versus going outside and doing what kids are supposed to be doing. These days, we have ads on TV telling children to be active and eat a balanced diet. So far, the message is either ignored or overlooked...until it's too late.



4. They say: The average child sees 10,000 TV advertisements per year

Why am I not the least bit surprised? As much TV an average child watches a day, it's no wonder. 90 percent of those ad's are obviously from fast food places and you wonder why little Aaron is damn near 300 pounds and in the 3rd grade. The other ten percent is all toy commericals and don't get me started on the programs these kids watch today.



5. They say: McDonald's distributes more toys per year than Toys-R-Us

Well, of course. Why do you think children go to McDonald's in the first damn place? However, that may change if the health people have their way by forcing McDonald's to do away with the toys. Chances are, you'll see a huge drop in Happy Meal sales when that happens. They're trying it out in California, I hear.



6. They say: Before most children can speak they can recognize McDonald's

Again, I'm not the least bit surprised by this. In fact, some children don't know who George Washington is, but they know who Ronald McDonald is. It makes me never want to have children and if I do, I promise you this...they will NEVER know about fast food. Who am I kidding? They'll find out about it eventually.


7. They say: Willard Scott was the first Ronald McDonald- he was fired for being too fat

Sorry, I find this funny. I'm surprised that they haven't considered Bill Clinton to be Ronald McDonald, as much money he's made McDonald's over the years, they should've given him the job of being Ronald McDonald....but then again, Rush Limbaugh would make a good Ronald McDonald.


8. They say: McDonald's calls people who eat a lot of their food "heavy users"

So, in the near future, we will end up having McDonald's Anonymous groups? Or we're gonna see people freebasing chicken mcnuggets?


9. They say: In the U.S., we eat more than 1,000,000 animals an hour

As soon as we run out of animals to eat, we'll start eating people...then the human race will be doomed.
