스크랩 왜, 맥도널드 햄버거가 런던올림픽의 공식 레스토랑이 되었나요?

[지기]

어제 볼리비아 정부가 코카콜라를 금년 12월에 ?아낼 예정이고 맥도널드 햄버거는 이미 작년에 폐지시켰다는 기사를 내보내드렸는데요 오늘은 런던올림픽에서는 왜 맥도널드가 공식 레스토랑이 되었는지 그 의문을 풀어보기로 합니다. 우선 맥도널드가 우수한 음식수준을 가졌기에 올림픽 공식이 되었던 것인가요? 아님, 막강한 재력과 로비력을 통해서 비록 음식수준은 문제가 있어도 밀어부치는 힘으로 된 것인가요? 그것을 알아야 합니다.

아래 기사를 송고한 안토니 구챨디는 맥너겟이 어떤 음식인지 신랄하게 고발하네요. 다름 아니라 맥너겟에는 자가 분해되는 효모추출물이 들어있습니다. 이것은 문제많은 화학조미료 MSG 와 거의 동일한 첨가제입니다. 또 디메틸폴리실록산이란 일종의 실리콘 제제가 들어갑니다. 이것은 여성들이 가슴을 키우는 성형수술을 할때 사용하는 실리콘 제재라 합니다. 또 홍화씨 기름safflower oil  을 사용하는데요 이것이 이미 유전자변형을 한 것이어서 문제가 됩니다. 자, 이제 하일라이트는 뭐니뭐니 해도 부틸하이드로퀴논이 들어가는데요 이것이 맥너겟을 신선하게 해준다고 집어넣는데요 요게 다름아닌 석유에서 추출한 물질이랍니다. 뚜 ~ 둥, 이 정도면 맥너겟은 진짜 닭이 아니라 합성 추출물 닭이라 불러야겠습니다.

자 이제 맥도널드가 어째서 기필코 악명높은 런던올림픽의 좋지않은 공식 레스토랑이 되었는지를 짐작할 수있으실 것입니다. 그리고 볼리비아 정부가 어째서 국민의 정부인지도 확실하게 아신 것이고요..   

아, 저도 맥도날드 자주 갔는데 그래서 그런지 요즘 배가 막 불룩불룩 나옵니다. ㅠ ㅠ  또  비만과 각종 성인병을 멀리서 찾았는데 가까운 맥도널드 가 떠오릅니다.

Why is McDonald’s the Official Restaurant of the Olympics?

McDonald’s restaurants are the very epitome of poor health, with their McNuggets most notably containing chemicals used in breast implants and silly putty. So why have the Olympic games officials adopted the restaurant chain as their official restaurant of the Olympics?

Considering the Olympic games represent some of the most conditioned athletes across the globe, it seems quite bizarre that the face of the entire event would be that of Ronald McDonald.

With the media frenzy surrounding the Olympic games, it’s easy to see why McDonald’s continues to be a major sponsor (dishing out cash for over 35 years). A massive marketing opportunity is presented to the company that involves aligning itself with a ‘healthy’ and fit event. In fact, McDonald’s is reaping the benefits as even some of the most decorated Olympic finalists are chomping down on their disease-linked frankenburgers. It was reported that ‘the most highly decorated Olympian’ Michael Phelps gorged himself at McDonald’s after winning a gold medal at the Olympics.

Phelps and fellow gold medalist Ricky Berens reportedly ate a toxic feast of two Quarter Pounders with cheese, one six-piece McNugget (each of which contains 7 different ingredients to compose the fake chicken ‘meat’), a medium McFlurry, and two medium french fries.

Great news for McDonald’s, bad news for viewers.

McDonald’s fast food has been linked in scientific research to depression, with those who ate fast food 51 percent more likely to be depressed than those consuming very little or none of the food.

McDonald’s has also been heavily criticized for including ‘pink slime’ into their products, which is essentially scrap meat drenched in ammonium hydroxide. And that’s really not the worst of it.

Taking another look at the highly popular McNuggets, it’s easy to see why McDonald’s food items contain some of the most concerning chemicals in the entire food industry. The kind that athletes and viewers looking to live a healthy lifestyle should avoid at all costs.

McNuggets contain a large list of ingredients, including autolyzed yeast extract (similar to MSG), dimethylpolysiloxane (a type of silicone being phased out as a breast implant substance due to safety concern), safflower oil (often genetically modified), and of course butylhydroquinone (derived from petroleum to ‘preserve freshness’).

So why is it that McDonald’s is the official restaurant of the Olympics? It seems that the corporation is desperate to attach to athletic events in order to push itself as a health-conscious chain, when in reality it is likely one of the largest contributors to the breeding of disease in the United States.

But of course their executive likes to think differently. In a press release on how McDonald’s ‘cares about your health’ that sought to piggyback on the success of the Olympic games, one exec states:

Customers recognize McDonald’s as a responsible, trusted brand that stays current with their lifestyles.

Could it be any more obvious just how little this company actually cares about your health? McDonald’s has no place being the official restaurant of any event or organization supposedly representing the face of health and fitness across the globe.
