McDonalds is one of the most well known fast food restaurants in the world. It is so popular that it sells seventy-five hamburgers every second and is shockingly also the worlds largest toy distributor (Lubin, and Badkar.) The powerful company is an overwhelming influence not only in the worlds economy, but also the worlds holistic lifestyle and health; therefore, McDonalds must be carefully monitored-carefully monitored meaning every move, every change, every single action the company makes needs to be a healthy one. Since the McDonalds business is unbelievably large, it has to manufacture a lot of food, and in a fast food business more in numbers means lower quality. But the food served isn’t lower quality. The food is not even food. It is poison! The chain restaurants food that is sold to the world population contains over 70 cancer-promoting ingredients (Roberts), not to mention it also contains preservatives that are butane-based, bleached flour, and the main ingredient found in silly putty (Breyer). It is clear that McDonalds does not sell food that anyone should be eating; yet, it poisons 68 million people a day, or in other words one percent of the population (Lubin, and Badkar.) 68 million people poisoned every single day. This atrocity absolutely without doubt needs to be stopped.

Since McDonalds is aware that people are more concerned with the healthiness of their products, they have added few items such as salads and fruits to gain a better reputation. Many high ranked officials even claim their food to be among the safest. “McDonald's is considered one of the best, if not the best, company in the United States when it comes to food safety” says Weisman. This claim, however, does not at all account for the poison...

... terminal preservative must go. It is not needed and is poisoning children all across the world. Since the preservative is rated as toxic, there is no reason for it to be in food that is digested by 68 million people everyday.

The McCancer is just one of the food items on the McDonalds menu that contains noxious chemicals that get called ingredients. McDonalds is dangerous though in more than just burgers and buns. The chicken nuggets contain Silly Putty plastic or dimethylpolysiloxan (Breyer). Eight syllable words may be ok in plastic toys, but food that is consumed daily by millions? McDonalds must stop putting poison in food, and the only way that way the criminal company will do that is if people make a stand. People need to make others aware of the inhumane processes the food goes through, and the unbelievable amount of toxins in the food as well.
