Hw 2- Mcdonalds and food market experience

  While in mcdonalds I realize a couple of things that caught my attention. The first was once you walk in by the entrance and the cash register there are two ATM's. That automatically shows that they want you to spend money they are making it convenient for people to obtain money. The second thing I realize was the amount of calories per meal that was on the menu. In Mcdonalds you can either get the sandwich or the whole meal. As I check the calories for ever sandwich I notice that everything was over 600 calories. When you add the hash brown and orange juice the calories increase to 900-1000. The main reason why Mcdonalds gets such much characters is because you can get a bang for your buck. The meals are very cheap and easy to afford so it is understandable why so much people would come back and buy food there. While waiting on line to order something the two men in front of me were talking about how hungry they were, one of them said that he was so hungry that he was going to order to deluxe breakfast meals. When he said that I glanced at the menu and saw that that meal had 1190 calories in it. In my head I was thinking that what he is about to eat right now is almost enough calories for the whole day. When I finally got my food I sat down and unwrapped the wrapper and the first thing I realize is that the wrapper is extremely greasy. Even though what I was about to consume was very greasy and salty and filled with calories it taste really good. That right there is the catch why people come to Mcdonalds, the food is cheap and taste good. That right there is why Mcdonalds is a multi billion dollar company.
  When I went to the farmers market I notice that there were vegetables everywhere and the first connection I made was how come Mcdonalds menu had no vegetables at all on the menu. As i walked to each stand I see fruits and vegetables I have never seen before and what I was really wondering is how they taste and it is possible that those vegetables and healthy foods can be cooked and taste just as good or better then Mcdonalds food. When it comes to organic and healthy foods it comes down to price and those things are expensive so I could see why people would go to mcdonalds instead of the food market.
