Tasty yet so risky



           In my point of view Lawrence essay was a great evaluation. She was able to mention who her audience is and gave the purpose of why she picked the topic. Lawrence also put in her essay charts to support her initial argument of who has the healthiest burger between McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s. By her doing the research proved she has reliable knowledge and is not just stating opinions. There are a few things I did have a misconception about she was talking about who has the healthiest burger but why did she not mentioned McDonald’s big mac., which McDonald's is known for.  Another thing is she contradicts herself in her conclusion. Lawrence states how fast food eaters are better off eating the McDonald’s Quarter Pounder meal but then goes into how one should not eat fast food. As has been mentioned, Lawrence essay was effective except for her conclusion could have been stronger.


         Granted, Lawrence whole evaluation was about which out of McDonald’s, Burger King or Wendy’s had the healthiest burger. By putting the statistics of the total fat, calories and cholesterol each burger carries made it sufficient. If her readers were to choose between were to eat among those three choices obviously they would choose McDonald’s Quarter Pound meal. She was well- organize throughout her whole essay and her credibility just made it that effective by backing up her opinion. Since Lawrence listed her citation one can simply link to it if they want to see the rest of the menu item and how much amount of fats, cholesterol and calories has. Altogether, Lawrence did an outstanding evaluation by giving reliable credibility to where she seemed reasonable. So before one goes to Burger King or Wendy's, think about the amount of calories and cholestrol when biting into that Burger.
