Fast Food Fights

McDonald's or Wendy's?  In my family going to a fast food restaurant is a big treat, so choosing which one we visit is a huge decision.  I prefer Wendy's hamburgers over McDonald's, but my children prefer the opposite.  There is something about biting into a big, juicy, delicious, Wendy's hamburger that makes my mouth water just to think about it!  But some, however, do not feel the same.  Many people feel that McDonald's hamburgers are far more superb!  I will agree that McDonald's has the best french fries out of all the fast food places out there.  It is not surprising, then, that the company has been in business for over 60 years.  There have been arguments that fast food is not healthy and that it the major cause of obesity.  That is the main reason why my family does not frequent them.  Which is your favorite?

Grammar Point
Using a comma can be tricky.  Use a comma between two independent clauses, before a coordinating conjuction (FANBOY) , to separate items in a series or list, after an introductory phrase or clause, and to set off interuptions.
