McDonald's is also very unhealthy. It has so much fat, grease, and calories it's hard to call it real food. They use chemicals it keep their food fresh which actually lowers the quality of their food. Sure it is quick and easy, but is it really worth it. That money could be used to buy better food ,if not healthy, at least something that has honest ingredients and tastes good.A man from Utah reported finding a McDonald's hamburger in his pocket. It still looked exactly the way it was when it was made, except for the fact it was 14 years old (Besent). Most food will go bad or disintegrate but the hamburger stayed exactly the same which shows how chemicals and pesticides can alter the expiration of food or rather the lack of expiration. Having a burger not go bad after 14 years is not something I want going into my body.

McDonald’s
is a real problem. Not just because of its grease and hair infested
junk food but because it is everywhere. There is a McDonald’s at
every turn. I know back home there is at least 3 within five miles of
one another. I think it is ridiculous that so many people have been
brainwashed into eating McDonald’s. I try to avoid it at all costs and after learning some disturbing information I don't want to ever go there again.But that is just me,maybe you still like McDonald's, that’s your
choice, but think about what you might be eating the next time you order
McDonald's.

Rachel,
ReplyDeleteYour blog was interesting and I certainly learned a lot of stuff that I'll have a hard time forgetting, for instance, the story about the pubic hair in the food was very shocking. I also couldn't believe that one guy found a hamburger that looked the exact same 14 years later. I guess their food really has stood the test of time. Perhaps I am a little biased but I did find some parts to be unfair. For instance, the hair story. One employee's poor decision should not be a reflection of the entire food chain. The same thing could have happened at Ruth's Chris Steak House. Also, you state that one of the problems is the abundance of the restaurants, "there is a McDonald's at every turn". I don't really consider this to be a problem. The abundance of the restaurants and the cheap food has greatly reduced hunger all over the world, and in third world countries, these types of fatty foods are what people need. To be fair, McDonald's food is certainly not very healthy to the average American, but a world without a Big Mac is a world that I can't even imagine, and one that I would not want to be a part of.
Rachel,
ReplyDeleteYour blog was rather interesting and I will not be able to eat at a McDonald’s ever again after reading this. You effectively established your pathos when you were talking about the pubic hair in the food, spitting in the food, as well as squeezing the grease out of the McDonald’s hamburger. The images that you described left me with a feeling of disgust. This feeling was furthered when you said; “A man from Utah reported finding a McDonald's hamburger in his pocket. It still looked exactly the way it was when it was made, except for the fact it was 14 years old.” The only thing that I think you were lacking is the appeal to ethos. After reading your blog thoroughly I found that you did use many resources, but the excerpts that you chose to use helped your appeal to logos more than your appeal to ethos. Overall I think you did a great job of persuading your audience to not eat McDonald’s anymore, but in the future I would try to establish a better sense of credibility.
Rachel, your blog alone has helped ruin my appetite for McDonald's. I learned a lot from your blog and you provided many interesting and disgusting facts about fast food. You did well with your use of ethos, providing many "shock factors" within your blog, such as the story of the 14 year old burger. You also succeeded in appealing to a college-specific audience because fast food is a relatable topic among us poor, college students. However, I think there could be improvement within your blog by providing more sources of these unfortunate fast food events. Your sources were credible, but I couldn't tell which fact was from which source. The change in font at the tail end of your post was also a little more difficult to read than the rest of the writing. Your post was still very good, and it definitely appealed to me specifically because I go on late night McDonald's runs, but now I will refrain from doing so!
