Mcdonald's Vs. Chipotle: Does The Big Mac Win?

1220 Words3 Pages

The Truth of Fast Food Industries America has the most fast food chain restaurants in the world. Fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s, Chipotle, Kentucky Fired Chicken, and Taco Bell, are selling a lot of food because they're easily acceptable. People love fast food but when they eat it, do they realize what is really going in their body? How many calories, trans fat, sodium, or cholesterol a single burger or burrito have? In the two separate articles Behind the Burrito: “5 Things Chipotle’s Ads Don't Tell You” and “McDonald’s vs Chipotle : Does the Big Mac Win?”, the authors each write the unhealthy aspects of Chipotle burritos and the Big Mac. The article that is more convincing is the “Behind the Burrito: 5 Things Chipotle Ad’s Don't …show more content…

In the article “McDonald’s vs Chipotle : Does the Big Mac Win?” by James McWilliams he starts straight to his points, comparing both Big Mac and a Chipotle burrito. He wants to reel the audience by exposing the nutritional facts for both fast foods so the audience can know how much fat they are putting into their body and how insignificant vitamins they are getting from these foods. “The burrito has 31 grams of fat, 11 grams of which are saturated. The Big Mac has 30 grams of fat, 10 which …show more content…

The author proves that they use local ingredients but mix it with there non local ingredients which takes the significants of “local”. Only where “McDonald’s vs Chipotle : Does the Big Mac Win?” compares the Big Mac and Chipotle burrito very well, but persuading someone doesn't do the trick because audiences would love to hear more than its nutritional facts. The audience would like to know whats inside the meat. Does it contain anything that can effect someones well being or what type of meat is being served. Furthermore it informs the readers how any restaurant or label could be lying. For instance, in the ad is shows a cow in what seems to like a feedlot being feed and shuck to become bigger, fugitively showing this is what other companies do, Chipotle doesn't do this. Yet they get there beef from cows thats finish off in feedlots, not getting a 100 percent grass-fed diet. I say this would this persuade readers more to be more caution of what they eat and not always listen to companies because they could be hiding something from the

  • Rhetorical Analysis: Super Size Me

    577 Words  | 2 Pages

    Fast food, while a quick alternative to cooking, has always been known to be less healthy than traditional preparations, but the extent of its health benefits or detriments was not known until a lawsuit came out which inspired documentarian Morgan Spurlock to engage in a 30 day experiment. The resultant documentary specifically targeted McDonald’s, the largest fast food chain in the world, which also happens to be a major recipient of lawsuits linking obesity and their food. Spurlock endeavored to spend a thirty day period eating nothing but food that came from the golden arches, with the rules that he would supersize only when asked, and every time he was asked, and that he would have everything from the menu at least once. In the 2004 film Super Size Me, Morgan Spurlock explores the concept that McDonald’s contributes to the nation’s obesity problem through the utilization of statistics and scientific evidence as a logical appeal, comedy and repulsive qualities as an emotional appeal, and s...

  • A Comparison of "In-N-Out Burger" and "Fast Food Nation"

    Often people buy a book at a bookstore after reading the first few pages to make sure that the book is interesting enough to continue reading at home. That is why Amazon has a “Click to LOOK INSIDE!” button on each book. It is the most important part of a whole book in order to catch potential readers. One would expect that both In-N-Out Burger and Fast Food Nation must have strong hooks at the beginning since they were both New York Times bestsellers. Although they both focus on the fast food industry, there is quite a contrast in the way they are written. In the prologue of In-N-Out Burger, the author Stacy Perman writes not about the hamburgers or the company, but mainly about the phenomena that the burgers caused. On the other hand, in the introduction of Fast Food Nation, the author Eric Schlosser splits it into two different parts, a story about Cheyenne Mountain Base and a quick overview of fast food industry. Throughout the prologue of In-N-Out Burger, Perman successfully gets the attention of the readers by describing the facts in detail, which makes them want to turn the pages for further reading. On the contrary, despite Schlosser’s concise and precise narrative, the introduction of Fast Food Nation does not seem to make the readers want to read more due to his unsuccessful analogy and composition of the chapter. The introduction of In-N-Out Burger definitely draws more attention of the readers than that of Fast Food Nation due to the rhetoric and composition.

    When Chipotle first opened in 1993, the goal was to serve quality food fast, but not be considered “fast food.” To avoid falling under the fast food stigma, Chipotle strives to find the best ingredients with respect to animals, farmers, and the environment. In order to achieve these goals, Chipotle has created a matrix organizational structure that is divisional by location and functional by authority. Chipotle recently expanded internationally to the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, each following strict guidelines assigned by corporate employees from their headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Similarly, each location is functionally organized according to authority: regional manager, district manager, store manager, assistant manager, and

    McDonald’s is killing Americans, at least that is what Morgan Spurlock believes. In his documentary Super Size Me he embarks on a quest to not only describe and use himself as an example of the growing obesity trend, but to offer the viewers with base-line nutritional knowledge that will allow them to draw their own informed conclusions. Spurlock's primary intention is to prove through self-experimentation that eating solely McDonald's food is dangerous. His secondary intention is to denounce the rising obesity rate in American by using statistics, his own research, and the opinions of experts. His broader message is for a general audience while he tailors select chapters towards more specific demographics such as parents or McDonald's themselves.

    The American life has been transformed by the fast food industry not just changing the American diet but also the culture, workplace, economy, and the landscape. “Today about half of the money used to buy food is spent at restaurants-mainly fast food restaurants.” (Schlosser) This could be due to the fact that about two-thirds of working women are mothers. The impact of fast food on the American culture is transparent when just looking at McDonald’s. McDonald’s has become the world’s most famous brand; the golden arches are more known than the Christian cross. “A survey of American schoolchildren found that 96 percent could identify Ronald McDonald.” (Schlosser) McDonald’s is responsible for 90 percent of new jobs in The United States. The landscape has changed due to the fast food ...

Fast-food restaurants now make it just as easy to access the nutritional facts of their products, as it is to eat their products. Consumers should take this knowledge and make healthy and smart decisions for their bodies.

    Take a second to understand why fast food firms choose to sell products that are unhealthy. Their unhealthy products are in a high demand in the food market; in fact, they are simply giving us what we demand for. Most firms have started putting food labels on their menus so there is no room for excuse when making the right food choices. Nobody is forcing us to eat a whole box of Krispy crème donuts or a super-size meal at McDonalds. I believe that we are always looking for shortcuts in life and now we can anticipate there is a shortcut in what we put into our bodies. So we are consistently after things that are cheap, fast and affordable. Who better to attend to our needs than the fast food industry?
