McDonalds not putting much salt on their fries
|
To that, I give a rousing "Hell yeah!" I remember back in the day, it must've been a good seven or eight years ago, when McDonalds still loaded their fries up with salt in these parts. That's how they got the damned nickname "America's Favorite Fries," not by cutting back.
Then again, on an oppisite note, I kind of wish the whole "health craze" publicity had been as active back in the '90s as it is today. If the fact that "hey, those f
ucking Big Macs are adding to that belly you're ignoring and clashing hardcore with your inherited cholesterol levels,"had been really beaten into me, maybe I would've considered my food options a bit more. Probably would've done my mother some good too; she's the one who was always taking my brother and I out to eat so often, never said a word about fitness, and is now an overstressed, overweight PTA mother of America recently diagnosed with Diabetes. My brother has lost the flub, but that may also be because he did lots of drugs. But we're not changing the subject of this topic, lest I warn you with my non existent ex-mod powers.
Point in case, I was a smart kid back then, and could grasp what was thrown my way, but the concept of "nutritional facts" didn't really hit home with me until about 4-5 years ago. That's probably why since then, I've grown a deal taller, gained pubescent muscle, but only gained around 25 pounds. Now all I need to do is work my stomach down a bit more, as I can at least pretend my "six pack"/ribs will someday show, and increase my running endurance. Not to say I'm not in shape, though; anyone in any serious high school band will argue in favor of the physical aspect.
