Another tragedy and humiliation here is that a diet rich in McDonalds is likely a factor in her diabetes. Returning from Boston, I drove for Pizza Hut. It fed me. Fried pizza wears thin, but when $5 is meaningful, free fried pizza every day makes sense.

There are some choices at McDonald's that aren't terrible but the poor lady is basically working 80 hours a week in order to get two part-time jobs.Another tragedy and humiliation here is that a diet rich in McDonalds is likely a factor in her diabetes.
