FAST FOOD

Ever since my college course, Nutrition and Health at NYU has been completed, I have had a dramatic change in my eating habits. I decided to cut down on my fast food habits. As I was assigned to eat fast food today, I decided to reject the assignment. I entered a McDonnald's restaurant that was close by the school. I walked in and observed what was different or the same on the dollar menu. I realized that everything stayed the same. The small fries, 2 apple pies etc. were all on the dollar menu. I observed it once more and I looked at the different meals they had to offer. It was all the same. I observed the people who were standing right behind the cash registers and realized that after a person was finished ordering a full meal, they would ask if they would like it supersized. Now that reminded me of the Super Size Me Video and how realistic it is. I was next in line (Well, not really in line) and the lady behind the register asked if I needed some help. I told her i was just looking at what they had to offer and I said No Thank You. I walked out the restaurant while others walked inside. I told myself this is disgusting.
