McDonald’s is bad for Brandon Marshall’s health

It’s bad for your health, too. I know, you’re young, you’re invincible, one or two Big Macs won’t hurt … but those add up. And then you start feeling lazy, and you don’t want to pick up after yourself, and then it’s wrappers, wrappers everywhere! Wrappers as far as the eye can see!

And then you slip on one. And then we laugh at you:

The physical Denver wideout will have his arm in a cast for at least two weeks after slipping on a fast food wrapper, NFL.com reported. When he slipped, Marshall reached his arm out to brace his fall and it went through a TV entertainment center. That injury required stitches.

“I want to thank everybody for their concerns and let everyone know that I’m okay,” Marshall wrote in a text message Sunday to NFL.com. “It’s funny because I pride myself on YAC (yards after catch) and being one of the toughest players to take down once I have the ball in my hands.

“So for the next couple of days I’m going to take the time to build my confidence back up after allowing that McDonalds bag to take me down and send me through the entertainment center.”

At least Marshall can laugh at himself. The lesson in this? McDonald’s is only bad for you if you slip on its wrappers. Otherwise, it’s perfectly healthy, nutritious, and natural. Except for the produce. The lettuce always looked a little sketchy to me.

Anyway, it’s always a better idea to pick up your wrappers and re-use them on food that’s not McDonald’s. Your kids will never know the difference.
