It seems that in this day and age of technology and paparazzi our generation is being forced to stare into an unreal image of what the media wants us to feel like we should look like.

Those warm double cheeseburgers, refreshing iced teas, and crispy fries are absolutely mesmerizing on McDonald's dollar menu commercial. As I watch, the enormous amounts of calories and fat are far from my mind. Late at night, convenience makes the calories seem like a minimal consequence.
