Anyone see the movie?
It's out on cable now for us normal people,
Great show,
I haven't eaten fast food in a couple of years now,
but it's scarry.
They market that shit like drugs or something.

What do you eat out at?
For me it's just Sushi , Pho Soup , and maybe the occasional buffet where I scarff on shrimp McDonalds actually smells bad too me , even when I drive by it.

Very entertaining documentary-but should be taken with a grain of salt. No doubt fast food is shit, but Spurlock killed his credibility when his cable show 28 days aired a story of a 30 something guy that did pro-hormones, test, and gh as age reversal therapy for a 28 day period(hence the program name...). Within a couple weeks the guy claimed to have elevated liver enzymes and became sterile. He never even finished the 28 days-blaming the roids for fucking up his health-in spite of looking and feeling better than he had in years.

Anyway, I'm a Whopper w/ no mayo guy after 9PM but if a Teryaki chicken place is open it's always my 1st choice. I order a side salad w/ it and only eat a few tablespoons of the rice since there's a lot of sugary carbs in the sauce.

Yeah its crazy how many people actually think 28 days of juice is way worse on your body than 28 days of MacDonalds for every meal. Yeah right.

Pizza is my weakness. There is nothing like a good pizza. Most fast food leaves me feeling half dead...

I have found that I can eat fast food for every meal of the day. And have the Mcdonalds apple pies throughout they day for fill in snacks. They way I am able to keep of my physique is because I will always have the DIET Coke and that seems to balance things out..........lmao..... Just stay away from the fast food scene completely and you will be much better off

There is some truth to that I think. By far the most fattening shit on earth is sugar-ful soda. It should have a consumer warning label on it just like the diet versions do.

In the movie the nutritionist he was going to told him that almost half the calories he was taking in were from the regular Coke's and the super sized Coke's he was drinking with every meal.

People think that because it's a liquid with no fat that it can't be fattening. It's amazing how many people just don't know the damage sugar can do to your body. And not just weight gain either.

I don't think that most American's actually like the fast food per say..... I think the biggest factor that makes them eat it all the time is that it's FAST.... Most people get only 30-60mins for lunch, so hitting a Mcdonalds is easier then making your own lunch that day.... I know from my own personal expierence that when I'm not dieting, and I'm trying to figure out what to eat, ordering some fast food is appealing cause there is no cooking involved.... No cooking, no clean up, it's just appealing to some....

I am one that believes the Fast Food places should be selling healthier foods..... I don't think American's are addicted to burgers and fries and Lg Cokes, I think that is just what the fast food joints are selling..... I'd much rather be able to hit a Mcdonalds, and order a supersized Chicken and Broccoli platter..... If the fast food joints had healthier food, people wouldn't have a choice to eat junk..... It's the ease of going out and ordering that Americans are addicted to..... That's my take on it anyway.....

I think it's more the fact that people eat for taste as opposed to eating for nutritional value and function. Sodium and sugar makes stuff taste good to most-otherwise the salads available would have a meal # of their own like the other not so healthy menu choices.

The nutritionist also told him that he was getting twice the calories he needed on a daily basis (he stopped all exercise).

My guess is that most of the health problems he saw on the McD's diet were due to too many calories period.

The movie also showed a tall thin man that eats 2-3 Big Macs a day; his cholesterol was 145. I'm not saying you could be a ripped bodybuilder eating McDonalds every day but I'll bet a man could be reasonble healthy eating McDonalds 3 meals a day if he payed attention to his diet.
