McDonald's Vs. Real Hamburgers

Nothing tastes better than a fresh, home-cooked cheeseburger, but the problem with a good home-cooked burger is the amount of time it takes to actually prepare the meal. As fast paced and rapidly moving as our society is today convenience is more important than quality, a real shame. A McDonald's cheeseburger has many distinct features in comparison to a real burger. The smell is grease, the taste is grease, and the look is grease. No but really a McDonalds cheeseburger smells like a greasy slab of meat. The odor of the meat comes out from in between the patties. The patty itself is about a fourth of the size of a real cheeseburger patty, but probably just as bad if not worse for you, and as for the taste. The taste is good, yet greasy. The texture of the meat is no where near the texture of a real cheeseburger. It is very small, almost rubbery and doesn't fulfill the taste that you are actually desiring.

The fake food has very few nutritional aspects to it. The burger patty is very unhealthy for you and does not give you the essential proteins that a real burger patty does. The grease basically overrides any protein or quality nutrients that were once in the patty. The McDonalds patty is not nutritionally equivalent to a real ground beef burger. Don't get me wrong the juice and fat that come out of a fresh ground patty aren't exactly the picture of health, but the protein and other nutrients that it does contain almost equate to the bad aspects of the meal.

There are very few reasons that I have switched over to eating this fake food. One of the few reasons are convenience. In the day I have very limited time during the day, and very little accessibility to a grill and fresh meat. The other reason I have switched over is the amount of money that the food costs. For a double cheeseburger at McDonalds it is only one dollar and is prepared in less than five minutes. A system that is very hard to beat, besides the fact that the ratio to nutrients and calories is few to many.

Yes, I do think that I will end up switching back to the real food. I can only stand so much of the fake cheeseburgers that I eat, and in the future years I will have many different opportunities to grill a real burger. Next year I will have my own house and my own car a much easier way to get back and forth from the grocery store for some fresh ground meat.
