Live to eat, eat to Die

I for sure, enjoy food. I love food. I would say I live to eat and not eat to live. But my choices are different than most people. I enjoy a salad that takes me 15 minutes to make, 10 million times over a burger or french fries. I enjoy my own home cooked food a billion and one times over a restaurant meal. No matter what the restaurant is or, what food it is. Today as I was walking back from the grocery store carrying a cauliflower and milk, I saw a huge McDonald's van. It seemed more like a huge RV. I have no idea what it is. And it parked in the oddest of places. Not in front of a McDonald's, or anywhere close but at a house. I waited around to see whats the deal with it, but got bored and continued walking home. Anyways, what drew my attention is the advertising on this trailer or RV. Ofcourse it had the MCD's slogan: loving it and then pictures of people. Slim, healthy, happy looking , extremely fit people. Sorry McDonald's but the only thing came to my mind is overweight, obese, sad looking people. Who are so sad because they are extremely overweight and unhealthy. And because they know they are going to die of high cholesterol, or high fat content. Sorry McDonald's but you have to change your slogan to: Eat to Die. I don't understand how people could "love" this food. I much rather my cauliflower with cooked yogurt, and mashed potatoes with lemon and garlic. Big mac? Yuck..you mean heavly manipulated cow (antibiotics,hormones...you name it) between two pieces of white killing bread. No thank you.
