Snack wrap attack
Just thinkin' about McDonald's new Snack Wrap. Woah, it's a wrap? Must be HEALTHY! (It's 16 grams of fat, or about 1/4 of your daily intake, according to their site--kind of a lot for a snack, no?)
Looking it up on the McDonald's site, I found a ludicrous propaganda section optimistically titled, "From the farm to the table."
Not surprisingly, the story of where your Snack Wrap chicken comes from pretty much starts and ends with name-checking Tyson as their supplier, and conveniently leaves out pesky details like how the chickens are packed together by the thousands and pumped full of antibiotics, their 98% chance of E.coli contamination, etc.
If they told you that, you wouldn't be thinking about what a bucolic farm Farmer Tyson must have, and wondering if he also grows the fresh vegetables McDonald's uses, and if the cheese comes from his loveable cow Bessie, and how you'd really like to stuff about three or four Snack Wraps in your Snack Wrap hole.
