Chick-Fil-A vs. McDonalds It is well known, that McDonalds is the number one restaurant in the entire world due to the number of stores and gross income. In terms of this argument, Chick-Fil-A cannot compete with Mickey D’s but a lot of people will argue that it is the better restaurant of the two for certain reasons. As of myself, I pick McDonald’s over Chick-Fil-A because I go to McDonalds more than I go to Chick-Fil-A and I believe it is better overall.

Unfortunately a bag of carrots doesn’t look as appealing as a bag of chips, most children would rather eat chips as well, and when you can’t buy much food you don’t want to have your children waste any, so you’re going to buy something they will eat. Foods that are highly processed, foods that don’t expire quickly, and most foods that are bought in bulk for a low price, are poor choices of food, and these are the foods that will lead to unhealthy bodies. Sugars, starches, sodium, everything that is in a processed food, just helps fat accumulate on the body, and in the arteries.
The problem with this operation is, in order to attract enough customers, the final product must be affordable and yet, still delicious. This brings up many problems with the dietary quality of the food produced by fast food restaurants.
