Sunday Night Match – up: Big Mac vs. Whopper
By reading that comparison of the Big Mac and the Whopper, many pros and cons
came to mind. For every good thing the Big Mac has, the Whopper doesn’t, and for every
good thing the Whopper has, the Big Mac doesn’t. For instance, the Whopper has only one
beef patty that is only slightly larger than one of the Big Mac’s 2 beef patties. Both of thee
hamburgers are relatively the same price, yet both have different things to offer. The Big
Mac’s beef patties are fried, and the Whoppers patties are broiled. The broiled beef patties
are better for you healthwise then the fried patties are. The Big Mac still offers more to the
customer for the same price though. Or does it? The Whopper only uses 2 slices of bread,
while the Big Mac uses 3. The Whopper seems to be better for your health than the Big
Mac. Even though it doesn’t offer as much food, the nutritional value would be better for the
human consumption. The whopper has brolied beef, which is healthier than the Big Macs
Fried beef. The slices of onion that are on top of the Whopper could very possibly add up
to be more onion on top of the Big Mac, which would give the consumer more nutrition, and
worse breath. Once again the Whopper offers 2-3 slices of tomato while the Big Mac offers
lettuce. 2-3 slices of tomato is proven to have better nutrition than 1slice of lettuce. Both
ketchup and Mayonnaise are used as toppings on the Whopper. While only “sauce” is used
on the Big Mac. For all we know the Big Mac special sauce could be ground up rat meat
... flesh are then ground into a paste-like matter, which is cleansed with the previously mentioned ammonia to rid it of E. coli. The meat filler product is purchased by many fast food restaurants, such as McDonald’s. The Beef Products executive predicts that his product will be in 100% of hamburgers within the next five years.
The story Home of the Whopper, by Thomas Frank really shines some light on what is really going on in these fast food restaurants. The author begins his story by starting at the beginning, on Hillsborough Road in Durham.
The ultimate goal should be to change the American diet of mostly processed foods to a diet of mostly organic foods. Freedman (2013) is focusing too much on obesity rather than on the general health of Americans when he states, “I happened to catch Bittman on the Today show last year demonstrating for millions of viewers four ways to prepare corn in the summertime, including a lovely dish of corn sautéed in bacon fat and topped with bacon. Anyone who thinks that such a thing is much healthier than a Whopper just hasn’t been paying attention to obesity science for the past few decades” (p. 513). It would seem Freedman condemns this dish as unhealthy because of the bacon fat and bacon added to the corn. If the bacon used in the corn was organic it would not contain the additives that the beef patty used in making the Whopper has, thus making it a much healthier choice for the body than the
There are many fast food restaurants that have pink slime in their products and also school districts. “The USDA estimates that lean finely textured beef accounted for about 6.5 percent of ground beef orders.” Not only, just in fast food restaurants and schools but in grocery stores and anywhere that sells beef as well. “There are no precise numb...

Meanwhile, there is wonder about who can be a carrier of NGU. In case you did not know, men and women both can be infected by the Nongonococcal Urethritis Disease. Found in studies, mostly in men due to their sexual infections. Men between the ages of 15 and 30 tend to have more than a few sex partners, which gives the meaning for a high risk for this abnormality. Some men have both Gonococcal and Non-Gonococcal Urethritis.

One of the most common infections that occur in the urinary system is UTIs or Urinary Tract Infection. A UTI is when bacteria gets into the urinary system, either externally or from the digestive tract, and causes pain and irritation in the urinary tract (Friedl, n.d.). UTIs are typically treated with antibiotics. A common disease of the urinary system is incontinence, which is when you lose some or all of your bladder control (Friedl, n.d.). This can also cause retention problems, which is when you have trouble releasing urine from the bladder (Friedl, n.d.). Incontinence can be treated with medication and exercise that can help to retrain the muscle around the bladder and urethra area (Friedl, n.d.). Interstitial cystitis (IC), also known as painful bladder syndrome (BPS), is a type of chronic bladder condition that is primarily found in women (Zimmermann, 2016). IC can cause bladder pressure and pain, bladder scarring, and can cause less elasticity in the bladder (Zimmermann, 2016). Another form of inflammation in the urinary system is Prostatitis, the swelling of the prostate gland. Prostatitis is significant in that it only occurs in men and is often caused by advanced age (Zimmermann, 2016). It is generally cured by antibiotics. Kidney stones are an extremely painful condition that occurs in the urinary system when chemicals in the urine become
In 1998, McDonald’s, in order to remain strong, tested the “McDonald’s Big Xtras” or “MBX” which was a potential hit. The “MBX” was a 4.5-ounce burger launched mainly to compete with Burger King’s “Whopper”. It was also reminiscent of the1980s “McDLT”, In ’98; they also brought back the “Filet-O-Fish” which in 1996 had been replaced by “Fish Filet Deluxe”. On a promotion basis, they offered novelty sandwiches, like “Cheddar Melt” and the “McRib”.

In 1982, Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery had recently moved to Columbus, Ohio after living in Buffalo, New York and found themselves craving the authentic, Buffalo, New York-style chicken wings they’d grown to love. The problem was that they were nowhere to be found in their new city of Columbus. The two friends decided to take matters into their own hands and created their own signature sauce recipe to satisfy their craving. Jim and Scott’s signature wings began drumming p great demand and the pair opened up their first restaurant, “Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck” near the campus of The Ohio State University. The restaurant was a hit with college students and since then has developed a fanatical following across the

People think that the price of fast food is cheaper than a home-cooked meal. Although many people like to eat fast food because of it is inexpensive and tasty, the actual price of the fast food is not exactly same like the menu. The price of fast food sounds affordable, but actually it is quite expensive. This is because people are influenced by the fast food restaurant’s advertisement. It illustrates the price of a set of fast food is affordable compared to cooking at home. When people go to the fast food outlet, they realize the price at the bill is not as same as the advertisement stated. The price is even higher than the price stated at the advertisement. Although the fast food advertisement provides the information that the price of fast food is low, the price in the advertisement does not include the tax and tips. On the other hand, cooking at home is much cheaper than eating fast food. It is always affordable, healthier and more emotional fulfillment when eating at home and cooking ingredients compare to eating out (Warner, 2015). The people only need to buy the ingredients and cook it by our own.It is always affordable because people only need to pay ingredients and cook it at home. There are no tax and extra tips! If people prepare their food in large quantities at home, it is more economical than buy several sets of fast food. According to Yeager (2010), “A family that commits to eating at home can save $3000 in one year and eat just as well,” (p. 52). Save and
