I haven't eaten any fast foods since watching that.  Lunch now takes an hour though.  Then I enjoy a siesta on some days.  :D

Soso Whaley experimented (and documented) eating only McDonalds food, but choose healthier menu items, like salads at lunch, not getting the larger sizes of portions etc..

She ate McD's for 60 days, not just 30 like the dummy.  She lost 18 pounds and her Cholesterol went down 40 points.

But, again, it required making better choices of what to eat and how much.

Of course, not being as sensationalistic, not many news organizations covered it.

So, you can either be easily swayed by listening without thinking, or you can actually engage the brain, question and consider.

Gee, another protect us from ourselves situation. People cannot be counted on to make responsible decisions for themselves therefor government must decide for them. Fortunately there won't be people in government so it can't make any bad decisions. :rolleyes:

While you recover over your serving of bangers and mash, minced meat and clotted cream, suck down that English dishblood pudding and that is "Oh so  yummy."

Is it pig blood, pig liver and lard?

Dago,

Morgan Spurlock's experiment was different. He had to choose every menu item, and had to take the "supersize" option wherever/whenever it was offered.  So he had to have those awful looking dessert items, and he mentioned that the supersize soda drink was 42oz - well over a litre, containing the equivalent of about 21 teaspoons of sugar.

eek, I'm feeling ill again. :(
