WOW! Just seen this movie, Super Size me! on DVD.
He ate only McDonalds food for 30 days, 3-4 times a day, gained 24.5 LB.
After 30 days, he consumed total of 30 lb of sugar and 12 lb of fat. His
blood pressure went from normal to 150/90, cholesterol way high, his liver
became fatty.
After 3 weeks the doctor was begging him to stop this madness, his killing
himself. Hehe!
I recommend to any one to see this movie, very educational.

a) What has this to do with UT?
b) The guy who made it is a moron, his problems weren't related
specifically to McDonalds, it just demonstrated what happens if you
eat 2-3 times the amount of calories in the form of you should in a
day, especially in the form of relatively high fat/sugar/salt food.

What do you mean, that's all he ate, McDonalds food! Kids they love that
food. Like those black teenagers in the movie said, "they love it, eat it
every they 2-3 times, when ever they can!"
Guy was just pointing it out, why so many people are fat and obese in the
US!

Anyone would get fat eating 5000 calories a day, putting the source of
his problems with McD is sensationalist nonsense. Just another example
of blame culture where nobody takes responsibility for their own
actions.

It doesn't take an Einstein to figure it out, just someone that paid
attention at least 10% of the time during health class, which most of
us had starting about 4th grade until about 10th or so.

Same here. More and more children are overweight. And I can know - my
girlfriend is a dietician ;-)

In that case, I am going to watch nothing but this movie for 30 days. If I
don't get straight A's on my next report card, then you must be lying.

Not as much as the guy made for selling his movie.

> McD targets kids not adults, that's why they have playground in the yard.

So? M&Ms target kids. That's why they have cartoon characters. M&Ms must
therefore be filling kids up with chocolate and making them fat. Eat nothing
but M&Ms for a month -- surprise! You're fat and malnourished! What a
revelation!

> Kids can't make rational decisions, like an adult!

They also can't drive to a McDonald's like an adult. Someone has to take
them there, and that someone is responsible for watching their child's diet.
