I can't Nas.
About 10 years ago I had the stomach flu, and McD's was the last meal before I got violently ill. Ever since then the smell of their food (secifically their oil) takes away my appetite.
The only menu items from McD's I'll consume now are:
Egg McMuffin, Grilled Chicken wraps, Vanilla Cones & coffee.

They have great vanilla cones. Good call.

i think because that's an exception, whereas what spurlock did was show what happens to the majority of people. very few people walk into mcdonald's and order the apple dippers or milk or something--they go in there for the fries, big macs, etc.

i'm glad more fast food places are offering healthy foods, just because it's become such a part of our consumer diet, but i can't help but wonder why people feel like they have to go to a fast food place to eat HEALTHY.

I don't think people feel like they have to go to a fast food place, it's just that the fast food places are already there, and they would be going there anyway, so maybe why not trying to eat healthy.

Of course, I don't do this, eating healthy is for suckers. Live fast and die hard! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Well, I think what Spurlock did was an exception too. He obviously went out of his way to eat the most unhealthy stuff possible (yeah I know all of it) and whenever they asked him to supersize it he did. Hey, they offer you shit at every fast food place- drink, deserts. You don't have to say yes every time like a moron. I think both of the 'experiments' were embellished. Of course if you eat there every day for months you're going to have health problems. And likewise if you go there and just eat salads and apples you could actually lose weight. The fact is while eating their shit is unhealthy, so are countless other foods, you just have to be sensible.

what i meant though was that a lot more people go to mcdonald's and other fast food places to eat the greasy fast food shit. of course he was an exaggerated example because he did it every day, every meal for a month. but i work with people that almost rival that, and wind up with diabetes because of it.

i know there are a lot of people out there who don't have time to cook or even search for a "healthy" place to eat (ie. my sister, she travels a lot) but a lot of it is just laziness on people's parts, and then they blame everything but themselves for eating that way.

Another issue is that even at McD's the "healthy" alternatives are usually more expensive than their "less healthy" foods.

Wendy's has a nice option in being able to swap out fries with a baked potato, chili, salad, etc.

How many times have you seen people at restaurants do that and then pile on the sour cream, bacon, cheese and butter, and chase it with the obligatory Diet Coke.

I'm one of those people, but only because Diet Coke kicks regular Coke's ass.

that was the point wasn't it? to show that fast food WILL KILL YOU and that it is a function of fat and happy american laziness?

look...it's very easy for me to tout all the glory that is the McRIB. however, i am sensible enough to avoid that crap and eat "food in a box" lean cuisines (due to laziness and the fact that i can't get through a loaf of bread or a head of lettuce before it goes bad).
so, the overall lesson from Supersize Me is that fast food is a "treat" like banana splits, korean hookers, or homegrown hydro.
or whatever.
