Restraunt Review 4-23-09

“Its way better than fast food its Wendy’s.” Today fast food is not a treat; fast food is a life style. Millions of people visit fast food restaurants everyday, in taking over half of their daily calories in one meal. Like every restaurant Wendy’s promises fresh food, clean environment, and friendly service and you can’t forget. Plus they’re open 24 hours a day.

We all know that fast food is bad for our bodies and our hearts; however, we still get caught up in the rush of the day and eat it. I eat Wendy’s quite often actually, as opposed to other fast food restaurants. I do believe that out of all of the fast food restaurants Wendy’s is by far the healthiest of them. It is somewhat of an oxymoron to say a fast food restaurant is healthy, but I believe it to be true. Wendy’s offers a wide variety of sides; potatoes, fruit, salads, chili, and of course french fries. Wendy's also has some of the best salt ever. I always order the #7 spicy chicken sandwiches, it’s delicious. Sometimes I will also get a frosty, for my fries. The other day, I went into the restaurant ordering my usual. This time I got curious as to what I really was eating and if it really was the healthiest. I discovered that my thoughts were wrong no matter how good that frosty tasted.

I found out many things I never wanted to know. The service was great and the restaurant was not filthy, however that frosty I just consumed was 560 calories. Needless to say I was sickened.

In a McDonalds “Big Mac” there is about 570 calories, which in just the sandwich, is about a fourth of daily calories. In a Wendy’s “Baconator” there is over 800, In there triple stack sandwich there is almost a thousand plus 69 grams of fat. The usual a chicken sandwich, fries, frosty and a Dr. pepper is 1610 calories while they say a daily calorie intake is 2000.

All in all I consume one days worth of calories in one meal. Needless to say I will think twice about getting caught up in the rush and eating at Wendy’s again.
