Watched "Supersize Me"

[Fast Twitch Fiber]

I really think that was all fake. Of course McDonalds isn't health food, but this guy allegedly gained 17 lbs. in 12 days just from eating 3 meals from McD's per day. It's simply not possible for an adult to gain fat or muscle at a rate of 1.4 lbs per day. I'm sure the guy was bloated as hell from the increased sodium and the huge soft drinks, but 17 lbs that fast just isn't likely.

Think again...

after watching that movie i am never again eating anything from mcdonalds other than french fries.

its not as if that movie taught me anything new other than the fact that mcdonalds adds sugar to almost everything they sell. other than subway i didnt eat any fast food for a 2 and a half year period and i have never felt better.

BA-ZING!

 

[georgie24]

you just made that asshole richer by buying his stupid movie/documentary.

 

[rushx79]

first off, mr mcdonald, the documentary isnt stupid. believe it or not, plenty of americans think that visiting mcdonalds several times a week is not detremental to their health. also, its an eye opener as to how mcdonalds actually tries to get people addicted to their food-i.e. adding sugar to products that wouldnt normally contain it.

secondly, how did you determine the guy was an asshole? my guess is that you work for mcdonalds. if my guess is wrong than what the hell is wrong with you?

 

[Tom Treutlein]

He's jealous he didn't think of making a movie about his fat ass eating nothing but fast food and getting rich as hell.

I like the ghetto McDonalds commercial, and Checkers, BK is also jumping in there too, or is it Wendy's? (fat rasta elephants singing reggae music).

All money making F+B places do the same thing. Add fat, salt or sugar. Because people like to eat those things. Simple as that! Show me a heavy drinking, fatty menu, restaurant and I'll show you one that makes a lot of money. Show me a healthy place selling favor less crap and I'll show you a place not making money. Booze is where the money is at BTW.

you really think a movie is going to detour americans from eating mickey-d's? lol thats like saying crack heads will stop smoking once they see a documentary about life on skid row.

we are a pathetic nation. micheal moore clearly made that visible with his documentary

The subject of that film and the author of the book was here at NIU a couple weeks ago for a public lecture.

He did an intro, we watched the movie, and then he had a question and answer period after. That dude was pretty funny. I believe it all. After seeing that, reading "fast food nation" and "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair, I'm done with fast food in general. I still have seconds thoughts about buying red meat from the grocery store but without it I would be fucked

I have "The Jungle" excellent book, mostly about socialism tho, I believe.

However that book was instrumental in the creation of the FDA....
