Mcdonalds will make you fat

[Slash27]

Its seems like Mcd's food  got worse for you over the years. Anyone seen  "Supersize Me" ?  I dont see why their burger and fries has to be worse for you than what you make at home.

[lazs2]

wait a minute grun...  If I buy a two for one ice cream gallon at safeway... that stuff goes bad if I don't eat it...  It "forces" me to eat more ice cream... just exactly like a person is "forced" to eat MD large meals or.... throw away the rest.

A lot of us grew up being told not to waste food.

Thanks for proving my point NUKE!

 

1. I said most people know that big macs have a ton of calories
2. I said especially fat people, who know what they should and should not be eating.

3. I'm not fat and I don't eat frys, so why would I have a need to know how many colories they have?

If I were a big fat tub a goo, I would know what foods not to eat and what calories they roughly had.

Thanks for proving what point?

Yeah and the all you can eat restraunts force all those fat tubs of goo into their restraunts and make them eat and have feeding frenzies, but McDonalds should be sued because they sell large portions.

That's fatty logic.

[lazs2]

I don't know the calorie count of any of the food I eat.   If I put on a few pounds I simply cut down on eating a bit or get more exercise.

SOB people are embarassed to ask how many calories and in the curse of the day are too busy to look it up and many many are still not inbternet savvy. It's much easier to get that info if it was placed on wrappers at the point of sale/consumption. You are a big fat obese guy. Next time you go to MCD ask the girl behind the counter how many calories are in the Big Mac meal, fries, a big soda and two apple pies.  

Would people just read the wrapper and drop the burger at the first time, hell no. But having that info there will, over time, lead to greater knowledge and conscious awareness of how many calories and % of daoliy intake is in that meal which is much more likely to change eating patterns and thus menu offerings.

So, it's not enough that a resturaunt have this information easily available?  What a load.  They do make the info available, and it is easy to get.  If you're "too busy" to be bothered looking at it, then it's your own damn fault.  If you're too embarassed to ask for the info or grab an info sheet from the counter, that is hardly the fault of the resturaunt.  Need access to the Internet?  Go to the library, and if it's something you're interested in you can pick up a book on healthy eating while you're there.

And as for me, as a fat guy, asking the counter help for the nutritional info...I don't get it.  Do you think I would actually hesitate to do so?  Would you?

[GRUNHERZ]

A lot of people would SOB, people in this country tend to be embarassed about their weight and especially fat people, asking about calories goes with that too.

As for all of ypu suggesting that people jusat look up calore info on the web for everything they buy then why not just get rid of nutritional info on prepackeaged foods if you all think such info is uneccesary..

[lazs2]

I would go further.... the calorie and nutritional info needs to be posted about a block away in an area only accesseble by walking to it....

Obviopusly you joke, but that would just mean that less peple would know what they are eating.

[lazs2]

If I cared what I was eating I would gladly walk the block to find out.

So every time you considered picking up a new possibly unknown item at the supermarket you would put the item back, leave the store, then walk one block to check the data? Then do that every time you get some new thing.. What do you shopb for food all day and have no work? Riight, and you say the lawsuit is ridicilus (which it is) but damn lazs...

The lawyers in the class action suit are just licking their chops, so to speak, to get into the pockets of McDonalds.

I applaud the judge's common sense, but think he didn't go far enough. The parents should be held accountable and referred to some other court for endangering the health of the children.

If there were any sincere concern for the children in this case, they should target the parents for taking them to McDonalds all the time, ordering and paying for the food and more importantly, for not exercising or teaching their children a little restraint.

You're free to eat whatever you want and raise your children as you see fit, but that does not mean ignorance or stupidity that endangers yourself or your children should be rewarded by cash though the courts.

Animals teach their offspring what to eat and how to get it. Humans should be able to do that also.

[lazs2]

grun... I normally walk to the store that is 3 blocks away... If I go somewhere I park further out in the lot where poeple don't use my body panels for door stops... maybe that is why I don't need to care what I eat.

If you are living off fast food and getting fat... the smart guy would cut down/quit eating fast food and... get more exercise.   I just ate two ice cream sandwhices.   I didn't look to see what was in em except to notice they had ice cream looking stuff with a dark cookie looking thing on each side.   I assume that they are not too light on calories.   I will hump my girfriend an extra 15 minutes to make up for it.

also... this suit passes the nanny test... in order for the women socialist liberal naaannies to gain power they have to butt into your life... in order to do that they have to ban stuff or demonize it... the first and most important rule for them is to ALLWAYS bring the "children" into it... "do it for the children".

Lazs, you are so fulla shizt. You could walk to New Mexico from Dixon for a burrito, eat 4, and still be the first runner up for Ben Grim in a non-super hero skinny beggar looking guy in the Fantastic 4 Movie. Pry scares children, but your smile, and Makarov in hand pry distracts them from yelling for help.

Your metabolism is pry 180 times of gruns, and your genes make up the rest. I do enjoy the women liberal bashing comedy stuff, but be real.

Oh, and your 50, you ain’t humping anything overtime. Just saying.

Yeah, the guy's liver started turning to foie gras after eating McDonald's every day for two weeks. His liver function values went to **** and his doctors we're telling him that if he kept doing it he would need a new liver very soon. LOL

Interesting movie, it's slanted of course, but it presents some interesting facts.
