Get This!!!

One issue in today's society that strongly upsets me is the fact that a lot of us are buying fast food that isn't what it really say's it is! Mc Donald's is a prime example with this issue. So many people eat Mc Donald's in today's society. Question is .. do they really know what they are eating? Or I could say do we really know what we are eating? I have never been a huge Mc Donald's eater. If I did eat there the main thing I would eat would be their breakfast food but if it was during the day I would eat a chicken wrap or french fries. Other than that, Mc Donald's has not been a big choice for me.
A few weeks ago, I found out something very shocking about what Mc Donald's does with some of their foods. When cooking their french fries they put the packaged french fries in the fryer and then add a drop of flavoring to them that actually gives the french fries their taste that we all desire so much. Basically, they are giving the french fries the taste, not what they actually taste like. So what are we eating??? Like I said previously, french fries were one of the only things I would eat at Mc Donalds and now I find out I haven't really been eating a french fry?!! (Or at least that's what it sounds like to me.) This infurates me in all kinds of ways. It makes me wonder.. if the french fries have to have flavor added what do they do to everything else they make? What are the burgers, really?
I also heard that Mc Donalds new fruit smoothies are not really made with fruit. (Like they say they are) It's simply a fruit flavoring. Is this right how they false advertise their products? In my opinion no!!
Mc Donald's is best known for a place for little kids to get "happy meals" why in the world would people be selling false tasting foods to parents that have children and the makers of these foods just sit around knowing these people are eating it?! The kids along with adults eating Mc Donalds food don't know if they're eating "real" food, the eating could cause them to have an allergic reaction or get highly ill. How is this right? Something should be done about this, people should know what they are really eating!!
