Hw#3 - Food- Fast Food Insights and Green Market Realization

Minute you walk through the market you notice stands each with their own grown produce coming from places like Nassau, New Jersey. While just across the the street from all these white canvases is McDonalds written with eye -catching yellow letters, the haven of teenagers and adults alike. Two places that both sell food, but offer completely different things. The green markets provide food that is healthy, organic, fresh and with no added chemicals. Versus Micky D's that provides fast, processed, fried and unhealthy cheap food.

Even though you'd think that because the green markets are the healthier and better choice, most choose McDonalds. Why? I believe it is because when you look at the prices of the food sold at the green market, for many people the more economical choice is McDonalds. This is also the reason why McDonalds is so successful; when you watch TV they are always advertising the prices they have like 99ct burgers or fries. Which draws in kids with such low - prices, although it leads to the rise of obesity in youth. When I googled McDonalds the first image is a picture of two obese women eating McDonalds fries, followed by one with obese kids. This is what McDonalds represents, but still people keep eating it. Because sometimes the ordinary person cant afford eating organic food everyday, unlike the many celebrities who can. This has even come to affect my own school, today when I went to go buy a snack everything that was offered before at the vending machines had changed. No more Doritos and Snapple drinks, in their place were things that were either baked or with labels like no fats or trans fats. So in the end it becomes a choice of not only health but of what you can afford.
