    This is propaganda because what if you walk to get to McDonald's every day and what if you only get a salad and water to eat. Then you won't gain this much weight.

    Eating Mcdonald's will not make you fat if you only eat it every now.

    Just because you eat Mcdonalds does not mean you will get fat. I do not understand where you get the "gain" from.

    I'm with McKenzie. I'm not understanding where the "gain" part is coming from when it's not mentioned in the picture.

    I agree with you but you could go into more detail with this topic and gain means a lot of things but usually when you hear gain it usually means weight so you might wanna change your wording a little bit.

    I think that this is a good example of propaganda. Although, it doesn't state that not all people gain weight from eating McDonalds. There are some healthy choices available when eating at McDonalds.

    I agree with this, but don't because depending on how much you eat McDonald's and also what you eat is what makes you fat.

    I don't understand what you are meaning by the "gain" comment, but I think this is a good use of propaganda towards the people who eat fast food and don't exercise.

    I dont really understand what they are trying to display with this propaganda. If you eat fast food, it wont necessarily make you lose your muscle. It could be good with saying you gain weight by eating to much fast food.

    This shows a lot of points. Some truthful and some harmful, The truthful points are that, WHen you think of Mcdonalds, you think of their slogan. Also Mcdonalds has been sued a few times over the years for making people over weight. The other points this shows is that, some people cannot help their weight and They try everything they can do to change themselves but sometimes it does not work.

    I think this is harmful because it doesn't address the fact that people who are in poorer demographics cannot AFFORD any food other than fast food, and eating healthy is a financial privilege. It also shames fat people. I can see how people would see this as raising awareness for healthy eating though.

    This is harmful. People who eat at McDonald will now be self conscious about their body weight and image. Yes, it isn't a healthy place but presenting in that way can offend people.

    It says nothing about gaining weight.
