When You Are Eating Processed Food

Decent Essays
Do you think you are eating real food when you're at? I believe that you are eating processed food. My reasons are people finding things in there food, for example people getting sick ALL OVER THE WORLD, and some people even dying. It is completely Mcdonald's responsibility to stay the way they are.

To start there was a 35 year old girl went to snatch a couple of her son's chicken nuggets for herself and came back with more than she bargained for with a whole deep fried chicken complete with eyes a beak and crest. later on she sued the mcdonald's.

    While fast food companies are morally obligated to provide healthy food to individuals who order them, they have the freedom to choose what to serve and how to serve it. Through deceptive marketing tactics, supersized portions, and a lack of nutrient information, large corporations such as McDonald’s and Burger King have reigned without regulation over the American appetite. Now we must simply take action; this means even more awareness campaigns and more importantly, demands for accountability. If we can hold the big corporations responsible, we may just be able to enjoy a reality where a trip to McDonald’s doesn’t consist of a 1,600 calorie…

    There are four main points of McDonaldization; efficiency, calculability, predictability, and control. Efficiency places an importance on time and cost and using as little of both as possible whatever the outcome is. Calculability has to do with the quantity of an item or how much it costs and how much emphasis is put on it. When there is attention brought to the quantity then it’s very possible that the quality will be lacking due to less time being spent on an individual order. Predictability has to do with the consistencies carried across many fast chains.…

    The reason why we believed this was a good approach to the situation is that with dwindling down their menu, they can start to focus on producing quality hamburgers, their core competency. As a group, we felt that McDonald’s was starting to produce products that didn’t fit well into their core competencies, which in turn was hurting their profits and the overall experience a customer obtains from going into a McDonalds. For example, even though the exact items of removal were not disclosed, we felt that McDonald’s should not be producing salads of any sort because people do not go to McDonald’s hoping to eat a fresh garden salad. People go to McDonald’s to enjoy the wonderful hamburgers they have built themselves around, so providing the customer with more options that are irrelevant to their core competency is unnecessary. The other measure that the article mentions that McDonald’s is taking is adding computer tablets to allow customers to add toppings of their choice to their favorite sandwich.…
