Reason not to eat MacDonald's




If you consider yourself a healthy person there is not reason why you should find yourself at a MacDonald's drive-thru. Even if its 2 a.m. in the morning and you just left a bar with your friends... (oops)

If one of your reasons is that MacDonald's is cheap, I have a cheaper way to eat healthier and cheaper cheeseburgers: If you buy a package of hamburger bread (12 buns), beef patties (12 ) and any type of cheese (20 slices) you spend an average of $16 giving you a total of 12 cheeseburgers. Now at MacDonald's dollar menu that would cost including tax an average of $18, and whole lot more calories.

Here are only a few reasons not to eat at MacDonald's:

  1. You would have to walk seven hours straight to burn off a super sized coke, fries and Big Mac.

  2. The processed fat in MacDonald's food promotes endothelial dysfunction for up to five hours after eating the meal.

  3. High blood pressure, a chicken sandwich will give you 2/3 more of the recommended daily sodium intake.

Most people are familiar with the movie "Super Size Me" made back in 2003 and nominated for an Academy Award for best Documentary. if you have not seen it, check it out.

Missthinwallet advice: If you really crave it, well once in a while is not that bad. But please try to avoid this food.
