McDonald’s Big Mac

The symbol of American capitalism, the Big Mac with its 540 calories and 34 grams of fat in its two all-beef patties and other ingredients, might be headed out the door. Since millennials prioritize health and wellness, they skip McDonald’s signature burger because it doesn’t only contain a lot of calories and saturated fat, it’s also high in sodium and fructose corn syrup, ingredients that can cause diabetes and obesity. The hamburger can raise your blood pressure to abnormal levels, and if consumed regularly and excessively, it can lead to heart disease and stroke. The majority of millennials believe it’s important to eat healthy and indulge only once in a while, and in a poll conducted by a McDonald’s franchisee, only one in five millennials has tried out a Big Mac. Unless the massive fast food company comes up with healthier and more natural ingredients, sales might continue to dwindle as millennials opt for gourmet sandwiches made from lean chicken, kale, and avocado.
