What is it with our fascination with fast food?
I know I used to love! - Mcdonalds, KFC, Kebabs, Fish and Chips… and I still do like it but I dont eat it as much as I used to.
Its lunch time in the office and I’ve been asked if I wouldnt mind going to Mcdonalds to get everyone some food. I wont be getting myself any as I’ve already had a banana, white crusty baguette with Egg, bacon and mayonnaise and my daily dose of vitamins and cod liver oil. Gotta keep healthy!
The problem is - once I step foot into Mcdonalds I know my senses will start running wild and my body will be begging me to fill in to a large McChicken Sandwich meal, with large fries and a large coke - just thinking about it is making my mouth water!
WHY oh WHY?
Its a feeling I’ve had everytime I smell mcdonalds since they age of about 15 and it wont go away - its like an wee addiction that luckily enough I can control.
Ive seen the program Super Size Me and it puts it down to the whole experience of Mcdonalds and eating it whilst calling it physiologically addictive, but it doesnt get to the route reason!
After looking around the internet I came up with something on the bbc website from 2003 that compares the addictiveness of fast food to heroin and some reasons why people get addicted!
Well Im off to Mcdonalds now… so wish me luck that I dont buy any for myself!
