McDonald's

     I love McDonald's. They have the best french fries ever! And their McFlurries are sooooooooooo yummy. I remember when I was little, whenever my mom and I went to McDonald's, I would always get the cheeseburger happy meal with a Dr. Pepper. And I would try my hardest to collect all the toys that they would have in their latest happy meal toy series. I usually never got them all, but I did get a lot of them. I knew that they didn't have the healthiest food ever, but my mom made sure I ate plenty of fruits and veggies at home, so McDonald's was like a little splurge on the healthy diet. It's a fast food restaurant, so it's expected that they won't have the healthiest food. Here lately, these big shot people are saying that McDonald's needs to stop giving out toys in the happy meals because they are luring kids to eat the unhealthy food. I'm like "What the freak?!" First of all, it's a fast food restaurant!! Of course they don't have the healthiest food! And second, how the heck is having a toy gonna lure the kids to eat the unhealthy food? Yes, I know kids love toys, but toy or no toy, the kids are gonna want to eat it, one, because it's really good, and two, because it's unhealthy and they know their parents want them to eat healthy so they do the exact opposite of what their parents want them to do! Geez, some people are so freakin weird. They shouldn't take the toy out of the happy meal. Ultimately, it's up to the parents when it comes to what the kids eat. If they eat something unhealthy, it's because the parents let them. The kids are kids, they don't get to make the final decision. If the parents don't want them to eat something unhealthy, they won't let them. So I think taking the toys out of the happy meals isn't gonna solve the child obesity problem. What will solve it is McDonald's getting some healthier food!
     It really just bugs me that people are so... I don't know, stupid about some things. I mean, come on. If y'all are saying that by having the toys in the unhealthy meals it's gonna lure the kids to eat the unhealthy  meals, y'all should be able to hear in those statements the real problem: the food being unhealthy in the first freakin place! They put these fresh apple slices in as one of the side choices, and some milk as a drink option, like that's really gonna solve the child obesity problem. Yeah, ok, sure that'll really work, WHEN PIGS FLY! What they really need to do is get off their lazy butts and figure out some healthier meals for the kids, not some silly little side choices that most kids won't go with! Their burgers are so greasy it's disgusting. And their french fries, it seems like they dumped the whole bottle of salt on them! Though, I really do enjoy eating their french fries :) Sometimes I just really cannot even begin to understand why some people think the way that they do...
