important-spread the word Created 19 years ago2005-05-14 11:08:51 UTC by VOX

I recently saw the movie "Super Size Me" and I have to say blech. Basically a man wanted to prove some doctors wrong in saying that eating nothing but mcdonalds for a month will not effect your health much.

He did it, but got liver fibrosis, gained 16 pounds in 12 days, couldn't breath when he slept, extreme depression and weakness. He was taking in about 6000 calories a day. He did a test for how long a few McBurgers and fries would last in a jar against a real cooked burger and fries from down the street. After a week the real burger and fries were goop, but the MCBurgers and fries hadn't even started yet. It took 6 weeks for the McBurgers to mold, but the fires lasted about a month and still hadn't changed even a little bit. Think about what you are eating!

America is the fattest and quickly becoming the stupidest country in the world. We have to do something. Watch this movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390521/
and decide for yourself. You can buy it at your local movie store. Then spread the word to all your friends and your friends friends to stop eating fast food!

I never eat fast food.

Seen the movie. The bit with the burger-in-jar was never in it.

That movie just told me what I already knew:
Stupid americans get fat.
Schools serve unhealthy food.
Governments buy rights.

And it actually made me wanna go to mcdonalds... Drool.

Im not fat nor stupid. No one in my family is fat or stupid.

Our government sucks, yes.

And my school food is soooo greasy! It takes ten napkins to get the grease off

Yea, I saw that, that was pretty spectacular.
He was also sick numerous times.

I knew before watching that though that Mc Donalds is scum.
I don't eat anything from there, given the choice for food from there and nothing I always go for the latter.

Btw, that's Companies* buy rights. Governments can do whatever they want, especially americas.

McDonalds is shit. It's public knowledge. Same as Pizza hut, Burger king and the thousands of fastfood places you got in the US.
Still, good food.

It was on the DVD not in the movie ZL. the gurger jar thing.

Mm... fast food.

I like Mcdonalds and it's ok to have a meal there say once a month or 2 months but I swear people eating them everyday or once a week deserves to DIE!

Only the fries are ok, but nothing special. So i almost never come there unless there isnt anything better near.

MCdonalds has allways been shit!

Fast food is okay occasionally.

The united states isn't the only country that have McDonald's... sir!

I have fast food about every 3 weeks.

I never eat fast food.

I have fast food about every 3 weeks.

Hmm...I may not be a genius, but that doesn't add up to me..

never is a figure of speach for me. I shouldve said almost never. :/

I never kill people.

;O

Most Americans arent dumb. Just the rednecks and most of us arent rednecks. Yes our president may be special ED but of course politics is retarded so what do you expect? I voted for Bush simply because I didnt like Kerry. If the Democrats would have had a better candidate, I would have voted for them instead.

Im fucking ashamed of myself. I want to move to New Zeland and be with some fairly intelligent people.

I see extremely obese children at work everyday, and it makes me angry that these parents allow their kids to weigh 250 lbs (110 kg) by the time they're ten years old.

They don't even know it's slowly killing their kids.

And yes, people everywhere are stupid. I only get surprised sometimes when they're unexpectedly smart. I've lost faith in human intelligence.

Fast Food is just what it?s name means. Food to eat when you?re in a hurry. Eating too much fast food is as bad as living in a constant stress so you can guess how bad it is to do both things... Seriously, I see nothing bad in eating some fast food from here to there (though I never do) but, being a sane feeding the thing that moves us during the day we should eat good stuff... Yeah, spanish Jam?n Serrano XD!.

And well, it?s not about being stupid. It?s just that media has a great influence in people... Such a great influence so Jarred, want to write an essay :)?.

I eat tons of it, If only I can gain a ton..lol

I cannot gain weight.. Gotsme a fast matabolizem.. YEA

Well, the bad thing about McDonalds is it's just so good, it's addictive.

I cannot gain weight.. Gotsme a fast matabolizem.. YEA

People like you annoy me greatly, I don't eat any fast food, and yet I eat normal food, and have to work alot to get rid of the weight. Then someone else can be eating tons of food, and not put on a pound.
Basically, damn you.

I agree, and are in the same situation. On the plus side, you don't actually have to eat much, which will save us money as broke Uni students. Hurrah.

I bought some "fries" from McDonalds months ago, and guess what, they haven't even gone mouldy after near 6 months. I wasn't going to eat them of course, fast food is nasty. Their fries are made from artificial starch, not even real potato, no wonder they don't mould.

Their potatoes are like 60% artificial ingredy-thingie (Dunno eng name, st?rkelse svenska), 10% sugar, 20% frying oil and some compressed potato outer-stuff (Can't remember name).

Skin?

No, the 'outer-potato zone' is its correct term, seventh, stop confusing the Swedes.

Personally I don't eat in fast food restraunts, ever. Even when I'm out with other people and we're all sitting in one, I still don't touch the stuff. I still eat junk food, but not their particular brand. Junk food should be reclassified as confectionaries, not as food, per se.

SOunds yummy.

Their potatoes are like 60% artificial ingredy-thingie (Dunno eng name, st?rkelse svenska), 10% sugar, 20% frying oil and some compressed potato outer-stuff (Can't remember name).

What happened to the other 10%?

Heheh. 3.3% water?

6.7% cook's spit

I'm lucky - the only McDonalds close to me is in Linwood and is situated in a big Cinema Complex.

On the right - A burger King
Left - A multi-storey McDonalds
Forward - A 6flr Cinema
backward - a FatJacket
and then finally, squished in between the McDonalds and the cinema (its barely visible) is a really nice Steak Resteraunt.

It still gets more customers - this tiny little invisible place - than the McDonalds and the Burger King put together!

Everything kills you, the world eats away at us untill we die. We can slow it down, we can speed it up, but in the end we all end up the same way.

We all know that fast food is bad. Tell me something I didn't know, like how 50,000 people die every year in car crashes.

I agree with satch, if parents dont take care of their little fatty McFatfattyfats, that is bad. But once some one is able to make their own choices, leave it up to them. McDonalds doesn't shove its food down your mouth hole. Sure they use adds that make their food look good, but what should they do? Show REAL pictures of their food?

I really doubt that some avarge joe who eats fast food everyday and gets sick can blame it 100% on the fast food.

I dont think Americans are stupid, I think we, like most of the world, dont like to take responsbility. "I'm fat, must be some one elses fault" "I'm poor, must be the government" "I dont like the state of the world, blame Canada"

point is, the world is toxic. If you want to live life your going to have to deal with it, and we have no one but ourselves to blame for our problems.

I see extremely obese children at work everyday, and it makes me angry that these parents allow their kids to weigh 250 lbs (110 kg) by the time they're ten years old.

It's actually much more complex than not allowing the childrem to eat lot's of junk (and other) food. The fat cells in our organism are like a sponge - if you don't eat lot's it just shrinks and when you start eating it grows again (AKA Yo-Yo effect). The only cure is liposuction (not sure of the spelling). Ofcourse prevention is possible - pregnant women aren't supposed to gain more than 30kg during the pregnancy otherwise the children are born with fat cells which are just waiting to grow. So if you have a fat parent the result will be a fat kid. It not entirely genetical, it can be prevented partially, but pregnant mothers don't seem to care about their children much...

Most Americans arent dumb. Just the rednecks and most of us arent rednecks. Yes our president may be special ED but of course politics is retarded so what do you expect?

You're not 100% right here. In fact about 70% of worlds population are dunb asses, who thrust television as if it were given by God and do everything that the others do (what is fashionable, modern). People from poor countries appear to be smarter than western populations because the situation forces them to be smart - otherwise they will stop existing. US citizens are refered as the stupidest not because they actually are, but because the smart ones don't really show themselves and allow the "rednecks" to stereotypize the whole country. And, yes, government members don't need to be smart, they just need to be cunning and vulpine in order to deceive the masses to vote for them.

I eat 2 takeaways a week and make sure I burn it down and I have never been fat in my life!

Oh come on it is not the foods fault but the person who just sits down after eating it and get fatter than Rikishi!

I resent that.

Sure they use adds that make their food look good

They have found a way to make fast food look good?!?!
