Anthony Gucciardi Activist Post 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.

Prevela i uredila: Barbara Arbanas-Kovačević Matrix World McDonald’sovi restorani su simbol lošeg zdravlja, s njihovim McNuggetsima koji ponajviše sadrže kemikalije koje se koriste u implatantima za grudi i sa glupim ljepilom. Zbog čega su, dakle, službenici Olimpijskih igara prihvatili lanac restorana kao službeni restoran olimpijade? Uzevši u obzir da Olimpijske igre predstavljaju neke od sportaša diljem planeta koji su u najboljoj kondiciji, čini se prilično bizarnim da bi lice cijelog događaja trebao biti Ronald McDonald. Uz medijsko mahanje oko Olimpijskih igara, lako je uvidjeti zbog čega je McDonald’s i dalje glavni sponzor (koji inkasira novac više od 35 godina). Prilika za masovni marketing je predstavljena tvrtci koja se uključuje u usklađivanje s „zdravim“ događajem osoba u vrhnskoj formi. U stvari, McDonald’s žanje prednosti kada neki od najnagrađivanijih olimpijskih finalista žvaču njihove frankenburgere povezane s bolestima. Izvješteno je da se najnagrađivaniji olimpijski finalist Michael Phelps prežderavao u McDonald’su nakon osvajanja zlatne medalje na Olimpijadi. Phelps i kolega, dobitnik zlatne medalje, Ricky Berens su navodno pojeli otrovnu gozbu od dva Quarter Poundersa sa sirom, jednog šestodijelnog obroka McNuggeta (od kojih svaki sadrži 7 različitih sastojaka za sastavljanje lažnog pilećeg „mesa“), srednji McFlurry i dva obroka prženih krumpirića srednje veličine. Sjajna vijest za McDonald’s, loša za promatrače. McDonald’s brza prehrana je kroz znanstvena istraživanja povezana s depresijom kod ljudi koji su jeli brzu hranu i za 51 % bili depresivniji od onih koji konzumiraju malo ili nimalo takve hrane. McDonald’s je također bio vrlo kritiziran zbog uključivanja „ružičaste sluzi“ u svoje proizvode, što je u svojoj osnovi staro mesto uronjeno u amonijev hidroksid. A to i nije ono najgore od svega. Drugi pogled na popularne McNuggetse pokazuje zbog čega McDonald’sova hrana sadrži neke od najviše zabrinjavajućih kemikalija u cijeloj industriji hrane. Vrstu koju bi sportaši i gledatelji koji pokušavaju živjeti zdravim načinom života trebali izbjegavati pod svaku cijenu. McNuggets sadrže dugačak popis sastojaka, uključujući autolizirani ekstrakt kvasca (slično MSG-u), dimetilpolisiloksan (vrsta silikona koji je izdvojen kao tvar u implantatu za grudi zbog skrbi za sigurnost), ulje šafranike (vrlo često GMO) i naravno butil hidrokinon (derivat nafte kako bi se „očuvala svježina“). Dakle, zbog čega je McDonald’s službeni restoran Olimpijskih igara? Čini se da se tvrtka očajnički želi povezati sa sportskim događanjima kako bi se predstavila kao zdravstveno svjestan lanac dok je u stvarnosti on jedan od najvećih uzgajivača bolesti u SAD. Ali, naravno, njihovi upravitelji vole misliti drugačije. U objavi za medije o tome kako McDonald’s „brine za vaše zdravlje“ pri krpanju uz uspjeh Olimpijskih igara, jedan od direktora izjavljuje: Klijenti McDonald’s vide kao odgovoran brand kojem se može vjerovati i koji je u toku s njihovim načinom života. Može li biti očitije od ovoga koliko malo ova tvrtka u stvari brine o vašem zdravlju? McDonald’s ne bi smio biti službeni restoran bilo kojeg događaja ili organizacije koja bi trebla predstavljati zdravlje i dobru formu diljem planeta.
