The purpose of this assignment is to help you become aware of what you are consuming when you eat at Fast Food restaurants. Any restaurant has good (healthier) choices and choices that are not so good for you. When you go to a restaurant where you have the option of ordering for yourself, YOU are in control of what type of choice you make. Sometimes it just takes small changes to make an unhealthy meal a little healthier!
