Why McDonald's Makes Us Fat

I think that fast food is misunderstood, so I'd like to clarify why it's linked with obesity:

Why McDonald's Makes Us Fat

When one eats at a place like McDonald's, one is purchasing food that is comprised almost solely of fat, salt, fillers (additives that help bulk up the weight of food with cheap ingredients), and sugar. Nearly every meal on a fast food menu is devoid of nutrients.

When we're hungry, we crave food. Mentally, we crave sugar, salt, and fats, because those components ignite the dopamine in our brains (those same 'happy' chemicals that are stimulated by narcotics). Like junkies in a the land of plenty, we seek our fatty fixes... we're instantaneously happy.

Unfortunately, these 'fixes' are devoid of nutrients, which actually fill the body and satiate our hunger. We eat this junk, and then our bodies are hungry hours later, because we haven't been properly fed. The cravings return, we misinterpret them (again), and then we go back to McDonald's for our 'Happy Meals.' It's simple, and it's ludicrous. Ronald McDonald should be behind bars for making his customers morbidly obese. I never look at a very overweight person and see laziness. I see addiction.

 The McDonald's cycle: Hunger-> Cravings-> (food high) Hunger again, due to lack of proper nutrition> Cravings-> (food high), etc.
