Fast Food my foot. More like a fast way to DIE. (I know it is melodramatic, but I couldn't help myself)

You are driving down State Street in Orem. As you look side to side what do you see? A dry cleaners, Arctic Circle, an auto store, Wendy's, a movie rental place, McDonalds. Do you see a trend here? In a world where half of the world population lives on less than two dollars a day, we Americans have a fast food place on nearly every corner. How can we defend spending money on junk food when billions of people are starving? Wouldn't it be a better idea to just save the money we would have spent on a biggie meal and use it to help people who barely get one meal a day? I think that it was high time our country shaped up, in more than one way. Buy healthy foods at least. Then at least you can justify it.

I agree with you on the meal thingy, but I'm sorry, I refuse to buy healthy food! The people who are starving can get the vegetables and I'll keep the junk.

Yeah Missy! I agree with you. Forget about saving the whales, let's save the starving children in Africa! I really wish there was something I could do to help everyone out. Hmmm... maybe someday, somehow, somewhere I can get rid of poverty. Well, anyways, I hope you have a great day!
