Super Size Me

I haven't seen this film yet but I really want to. Basically this guy eats 3 meals a day at McDonalds for a month. If they offer to supersize it he always did it.

He gained 30 pounds.

It's a grim documentary on today's fast food industry apparently.

Personally I have this to say. I stopped eating fast food years ago. The first thing that happened is that the acne I had in high school dissapeared almost overnight. I never looked back. Fast food is disgusting. I've been stuck a few times with no choice but to eat it and I get almost violently ill now. The fat content in it is so high that I can't believe it's allowed for human consumption. My body can't even take it. It goes in and comes out in one way or another very quickly.

Some of you may have read Fast Food Nation. Apparenlty the film and that book go hand in hand.

They put something in that food...

I first tasted FF in my late childhood and found it OK. My older brother was disgusted(as were my parents). My two younger sisters were hooked from the first bite.

I noticed this trend in lots of people: those who had no contact with it in childhood don't find it particularly delectable, while those who did eat it with relish.

OOOH!!! Flamey, Don't you just love the smell of frenchfries cooking, while you're running around that track!

I love the smell of fast food. We all do. Anything with that much fat in it smells good.

It's what it does to the body that is gross. If it were up to me I'd ban it. It's costing the world billions of dollars and quite frankly I'm finding it difficult to buy pants nowadays since nobody has a small waist anymore. Pretty soon they won't have big and tall stores they'll have small and skinny stores.

Finding a size 28, 29, or 30 in pants is tough nowadays.

as in burn off the calories (or come close to it hehe).
See the thing is, I am for high fat foods in a certain sense. Eat a pack of bacon and some bread and cheese, and you'll be full the entire day. Meanwhile, eat something like pasta or chicken a normal sandwich and u'll be hungry in an hour.

The one and only "Monstrous BULLgarian!"

That's pretty gross.

"Nutritional" pamphlet I picked up at McDonald's back in college pretty much cured me of eating at places like that, unless, like ya said, I'm in a pinch and it's that or nothing.

LOL, a couple years ago McDonalds was having a 2 for $2 special on quarter pounders. I took a 19 year old man-boy in there and said "I have $2.12, I'll just order 2 and give you one". He said "Nah, I have some money, I'm going to have 2". I told him "I wouldn't do that if I were you".

I ate my quarter pounder and felt the stirring of gas and mush from the grease, but it wasn't bad and went away by the time he was done with his second quarter pounder. Then he said "I think you were right" and RAN to the toilet! w0-0t!

Someone pointed out above that fast food in moderation is fine.

How could it be?

So it takes a year to gain those 30 pounds instead? Without the puking it would probably be more weight. All the health problems make fast food one of the worst things you can put in your body. It has virtually no nutrutional value yet people rely on it for sustanance. Eating fast food everyday for lunch wouldn't be considered outrageous yet that is 1/3 of what this guy did.

I urge everyone to go to their favorite fast food of choice's website and read the nutritional information. It's disgusting!

Sounds like exactly what I did a few years back. Ate nothing but McD every lunch. Had two burgers, Dbl-Cheese & QPBs (sometimes more) + large fries and a can of coke (actually 3-4 cans of coke per day). All this for 5-6 days a week. Wasn't out of choice of course.

When I stopped, I was at about 210lbs. The first & second month after stopping, I lost about 11lbs. I then got a tad carried away and lost the next 33lbs in the following month. Stretch marks are farking stupid.

Do not spit.

if you eat mcdonalds every now and then you are doing little additional harm.

granted its still bad what you are putting in your body, but every so often is going to cause you a whole lot of problems. granted i think if most people knew what they were ingesting they might think twice. i know the next big craze everyone will sue mcdonalds because there food is addicting and tastes so good yet is so bad for you. now if you excuse me i am off to get a 10 piece mcnugget and a double quarterpounder with cheese meal supersized with extra lard and fat, hmmmmm

In moderation, eating fast food is fine. A double-double from In-&-Out is 700 calories, with 400 for fries and an Ice-Tea isn't too bad for dinner every now and again. Of course you could always eat better, and 2 of those a day every day isn't too good, but every few days or once a week probably won't cause too much harm.

I've cut down my soda intake drastically over the past few weeks. I use to drink upwards of 1/2 gallon a day, which is like 800 calories. Now, I maybe drink 1/4 or less of the soda I use to drink, and have replaced it with herbal ice teas (my mother started an herbal tea business, so...).

I do eat fast food a little too much, maybe every 2 or 3 days. I wouldn't say I'm overweight, clocking in at 165 or so. I could probably stand to lose 5 pounds I guess, but excercising more would do a better job at that than changing diet would.

The old saying "it's not what you eat, it's how much you eat," rings true when talking about fast food. A little is okay, a lot isn't.

In/Out is fast food that I can actually eat every once in a while. It's made fresh so I suppose that's why. Sandwich shops I wouldn't consider fast food.

Fast food like the McDonalds, KFC, Taco Bell, Burger King, Church's chicken, etc aren't selling food though. They're offering a smell and a taste and then selling saturated fats. I'm surprised that it's allowed.

The fast food industry provides jobs. It also helps fuel the health care industry by making people unhealthy.

If you got rid of it the economic impact would be huge. They need to change it though. Stop costing the tax payers billions and bring back small pant sizes!

I'm sure that the textile industry would make a hefty profit if they could go back to selling smaller pant sizes, thus using less material, and still charge the same.

We should ban it. I'm sure it would end up being a wash economically but people would be healthier.

ever notice how food that is really bad for you (fast food, junk food, etc) is really cheap yet healthy food is ungodly expensive. its almost as if they want us to eat poorly so we will be in poor health and then have to spends tons of money at the doctors to make ourselves better. and buy health club memberships,etc.

<font color=purple><b><i>The Principle's of the Lust are easy to understand. Do what feel, feel until the end</b></i></font color=purple>

Quality food is much more expensive to grow. Stuffing an animal with hormones and chemicals is much more economical than letting it roam free to feed on natural grass. Shame really, the later tastes much better.

Found this on another forum.

Lots to hate in that picture.
