Fast Food Looks a lot Better in Commercials

Ever notice how the McDonald's and Burger King commercials show these well prepared burgers and sandwiches, yet when you throw up your money for one it just doesn't seem as appetizing? Well I was stumbling the web for more info about fast food and I came across a site that compares fast food in commercials to the real deal you get at the nearest drive thru.
To see a comparison, go here: http://www.thewvsr.com/adsvsreality.htm
As you can see, the commercials aren't so accurate at depicting what you really get. Advertisements make fast food seem less greasy and almost make it look like it's not that bad for you. For instance, look at the first picture (Wendy's Chicken Club). In the advertisement, it looks pretty good. The lettuce looks fresh and the cheese doesn't look like a wad of fat.
So the next time you see one of those fast food commercials that gives you the urge to run out and put a few more pounds on, try to remember the reality of what you're getting. It might not be worth the extra baggage.
