My hometown paper, the Kalamazoo Gazette, had a small front space on the front page to fill so they rewrote an Associated Press story which in turn simply rewrote a press release from an advocacy group with an astonishing finding — it turns out that fast food isn’t good for you.
Now I know most of you think that when you order a Big Mac, a Supersized Fry and Coke that this is the ideal meal, but the folks at the National Alliance for Nutrition and Activity somehow learned that all of those supersized fast food value meals are in fact just loaded with excessive calories, fat and salt.
Moreover, those dastardly McDonald’s and Burger King chains are actually making it cheaper to get supersized meals! Apparently they missed the memo explaining that, for the good of the nation, food should be priced as expensively as possible to save us from our own bad habits.
I know I’m changing my habits — no more McDonald’s and Burger King. Besides, the Dairy Queen is closer.
