fast food

Food insecurity is a real issue in the US. Depending on your age, budget, and location, the kinds of food you have access to can be extremely different. In most major cities you can find a wide variety of cheap meals, and bargain prices even on healthy foods. But if you live in a more rural area, unless you are lucky enough to have a garden or farm nearby, the closest place to grab food might be a Mcdonald's or a little gas station.

Last night, the Clemson Tigers football team visited the White House to celebrate their recent national championship victory. The president decided to serve the winning team Hamburgers by Wendy's and McDonald's and even described it as "great American food." According to reporters, the president paid for the dinner himself since most of residence staff at the White House is furloughed due to the government shutdown.
