5 Worst

People these days are always on the road, and are always eating out.  They eat out at fast food restaurants mainly because they need something that fits into their busy schedule.  Even though it is bad for you, it is very convenient, and that’s why they are very popular to the public.  The five worst restaurants to eat at are:
  1. McDonald’s
  2. Taco Bell
  3. Burger King
  4. Wendy’s
  5. KFC    


  1. Mcdonald's is a very popular fast food restaurant across the globe.  It feeds 64 million people everyday, and is the largest distributor of toys.  Mcdonald’s menu have a little bit of everything for everybody.  There are also a lot of reasons why Mcdonald’s is one of the worst fast food places to eat at.  It is said to have the most grease and the use of excessive preservatives is harmful for your health which McDonald's seems to overlook because they gain more and more profit from these dangerous products.  Mcdonald’s uses a gross amount of sodium, oil and grease.  It requires tremendous amount of physical activity to burn calories after eating just one meal from Mcdonald’s.  It is a huge problem as to why obesity exists.

  1. Taco Bell seems like a very family famous restaurant.  Actually Taco Bell is yet another fast food place that is a big problem.  There has been many tests and investigations done on Taco Bell’s beef to see if it was actually 100%  real.  There has been many complaints about large amounts of grease used is their meals. Taco Bell is a very popular but many people struggle with their weight because of it.

  1. Burger King is a famous restaurant that was functioning for 60 years.  It has been a big hit in it’s day and continues to be.  Like many other fast food places, it promises fresh food everyday, but it’s preparation shows otherwise.  100% beef patties are said to be used but many people put that up for debate.  There are many different meals on the menu of Burger King and I assume why it is so popular.  It seems that the most successful places to eat are often the worst for our bodies.  Burger King has been proven not to serve fresh everyday but people still enjoy to eat there because of it’s fast service, tasty food and good prices.

  1. Wendy’s is a fast food place that is more popular for all kinds of people mainly because it sells more variety of things.  On the menu there are not just burgers and fries, but salads and chicken and ice cream that is a really big hit.  But this restaurant struggles with the same thing many others struggle with, and that is non fresh food.  There have been many complaints about this but yet, people still continue to eat there.  The ice cream is something that really puts wendy’s on top.
  2. KFC is and has been for a long time, a very famous chicken place.  It is well liked by people of all ages and there's something for everyone there.  There has been the problem with the chicken being so greasy and there have been some reports of feathers on the chicken.  There also have been assumptions that the chickens they kill have been not fed correctly and have lived a sad and terrible life.

The Time Capsule



Five items I would include in a time capsule are:
1.Photo album
2.Plant seeds
3.Diary or journal
4.Old signed yearbook
5.Kindle or e-book

If my community decided to make a time capsule that would be open in 2116, 100 years later I would put in a photo album. I would choose this as one of the five things I want to share with the future because it would share all of our memories and pictures of things that could be different or gone in 2116. Some things you could put in the photo album are pictures of the land, schools, sports, animals, fashion, cars, popular people and places such as restaurants and popular spots. This would help people of the future become more familiar with our past and history.

Another thing I would include in a time capsule would be a couple different packs of seeds. People could take these plant seeds and learn first hand what plants were like 100 years back. A lot could change in that many years, and they might not have the abundant amount of plants that we did, so this would be very important to share with them. They can watch the plant grow and observe any plants that are new to them. This will give them a taste of what life was like back in our time of 2016. Because odds are, they won’t have the wildlife that we have at the rate we are going.

Something else I would put in a time capsule would be a diary or journal of someone to explain how life was like and some of the challenges they faced. By putting this in the time capsule it will allow someone to be able to connect with a old life and to have a story be passed on through time. This will be just like reading a really interesting and knowledge filled novel such as the diary of Anne Frank. This should be shared with people of the future because I think they would enjoy to read what life was like from someone who had a very interesting story to tell.


A thing I think would be important to place in a time capsule would be an old signed yearbook. I think this would be good for a time capsule because you can see what schools were like back 100 years. You could read what people wrote in the yearbook about the school, teachers and students. The people 100 years from now can compare our school to their new one and learn some history of what our life was like very day. I think this would be a very good thing to put in the capsule mainly because I know things in the school systems have changed a lot over the years already, so I can’t imagine how much it will change in 100 years.


The last thing I would put in a time capsule that would open in 100 years would be a kindle or an e-book. This would be filled with all of our best selling books and you can even save some music on one. This will share some of authors and artists best creations. People from the future can take a step back in time and read some of our most treasured books and best hits. This will allow our past to never be forgotten and to live on. This will serve a great purpose to a lot of people who enjoy music and reading. I know from my perspective, I love to read and listen to music and I would really enjoy sharing my music and books with other people I think would enjoy it.




Dear people of the future,

My name is Darian Donovan, I was born in 1999. I live in the small community of Renous, which is just inside of Miramichi. I go to Blackville High school and I am currently in grade 10. I live in a household of six people in total. My mother Lillian, my father Kyle, my older sister DeAnna and my two younger brothers Denver and Drake.

I am writing this letter to you today to make sure you are aware of some important things about our generation. In this point in time grades kindergarten to grade twelve go to school seven hours a day. We have to get up for school at eight thirty every morning from Monday to Friday. We get the weekends off to do as we please. At Blackville High there are many after school activities offered to students such as soccer, volleyball, basketball, drama, choir, and much more. There is a lot of debate on the dress code issue with a lot of people. The majority of people don’t consider it fair. This has been an ongoing fight between many staff and parents. I simply argue the side of “if you can dress how you want in college, than school should be the same”. However, I understand it is just enforced to keep us in line and everything functioning correctly. Another problem our generation seems to be dealing with is our economy being damaged. There is so much pollution and harsh things being done to our earth now, I’d be scared to see what your earth looks 100 years from now. For your sake I hope the earth is in good shape and society gets all straightened out.
