I'm not lovin' it. "Bringing back the Big Mac" (March 9) displays how the United States has become a "fast food nation." McDonald's was only missing for six months in downtown State College, yet for some people it seemed like it was gone for years with the line of 200 people outside waiting for the grand opening. Not to mention McDonald's can practically be found anywhere, from any city here in the U.S. to the land of the pharaohs. Yet there were so many people waiting in the cold to eat something they've been eating for years. McDonald's has turned into such a global enterprise and through smart advertising ploys, it has been able to lure people in, especially the American public. Many, however, don't stop to look up the nutrition value of a Big Mac. People have become so fixated on the convenience and inexpensive food served by fast food restaurants that many don't stop to think about the unhealthy choices they're making. Fast food restaurants are even trying to remodel their eateries to replicate fancy cafés and this revamping of the restaurants make it seem as though it's an entirely different place to eat, even though the food always stays the same. Fast food is everywhere, yet the grand opening of McDonald's inspired a huge crowd of students. If only these students were passionate about other issues, like women's history month, the world may be a better place without the fat.
