ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Afterall, he eats only McDonalds, and only Happy Meals. NOBODY does that so it isn't a realistic situation. *goes and eats at Mcdonalds* <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You would think that wouldnt you. But you would be wrong. Your totally wrong about him only eating happy meals as well. 1) No options: he could only eat what was available over the counter (water included!) 2) No supersizing unless offered 3) No excuses: he had to eat every item on the menu at least once I have to agree with Volourn.

Darth Flatus Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Super size me never set out to be an objective experiment to prove that McDs was evil. It had a wider message about diet and nutrition in today's society as a whole. As well as teh high blood pressure and liver problems - it probably affects mental acuity as well..

" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> True, and also the point he was making is that -- even though people don't eat JUST McDonalds, they do tend to eat fast food to the exclusion of all other healthy options: KFC, McD, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell (only in the US), etc etc. The average person is not eating lentils and cr OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Yeah, McDonalds is sooooooooo fattening. I didn't know being 6' and 150lbs or so was considered fat nowadays. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hahaha, now that explains why Volourn always has to overcompensate in every discussion on these boards: he's a shrimp in real life!

The Elite_elite Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 No, McDonalds won't kill you. That's bull. Perhaps, you meant to say they suggest that if you eat McDonalds, and neve rmove off your big lazy ass that it *might* kill you. Then maybe I'd believe it. Otherwise, no. No. No amount of physical exercise would be enough to offset the caloric supply of a diet consisting of daily McD's food. You don't see bodybuilders or other athletes eating at McD's. And the physical exercise can't do anything about the cholesterol that will turn your arteriae into waste dumps. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wrong. Remember that dumbass who made a film about his eating at McDonanlds? Well, on the news they showed people who were eating just like him yet they worked out. And guess what? They LOST weight. BTW McD sucks. In-In-Out is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Elite_elite Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Oh and by the way. If you needed to see that stupid video of that moron stuffing his face in to see that eating out all the time will make you fat then you are a friggen moron. Anyone with half a brain already knew that. Answer this question for me. If you get fat by eating at McD who's fault is it? Your's for eating there or McD's for making their food fat filled? I wouldn't be surprised if you say McD's. God forbid we take responsability for our actions. After all, they didn't force you to eat there. You went there of your own free will.

They were showing a group of people, 2 men and 1 woman if I remember right, who, because they saw how stupid that video was, decided to prove him wrong. They all went to McD for every meal but the difference was they all worked out. The woman was the only one of the three who had the healthier choices of meals however. She lost the most.

metadigital Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I like to get the "diabetics' nutritional guidelines" from McDonalds. It's a small recycled cardboard business-card sized triptych fold-out that has the calorie, kilojoule, fat, carbohydrate (complex and simple), salt and fat content of every menu item, percent and per item. It is usually located near the napkins and straws. It details how a quarter pounder and cheese, with a large fries, yields about half an adult's daily intake of fat (or more, I haven't read it for a long time ...)

Darth Flatus Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 IIRC Morgan Spurlock was on about 5000 calories a day eating at McDonald's. Even if he did enough exercise to work off upwards of 2000 calories per day he would still have to contend with the problems of a high salt, high sugar and high saturated fat diet. Surprisingly, not everybody does realise the pitfalls of such food and even though Spurlock's experiment was an extreme example, there are still people whose diet is comprised of a wide variety of junk food while doing little to no exercise.

I've been eating crap for years now, I haven't eaten a green vegetable since I was four, and my BMI is pretty close to being underweight. I expect to be as thin as a rail when I contract heart disease. I can always start exercising if I start to get fat, though. Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN!

Darth Flatus Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 When i was a kid McDonalds was awesome and having your birthday was impressive. Nowadays for kids it definitely ain't an honour. So i guess it stands to reason third world countries would hold it in high regard as it is relatively new and relatively expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julianw Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 You are dead on about McDonald being expensive in developing countries. Imagine how exicted I was when I moved to US and saw the price for those combo meals. My weight shot from 180 lb to 220 lb in two months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
