Sir, did you see the article about the guy who ate Mc'D's for 30 days straight?
His liver started to deteriorate.. he gained 25 lbs. and his internal organs were poisoned.

That's mentioned in the article. Also mentioned is the idiocy of a person who willfully decides to partake in a 5000+ calorie diet. McDonalds is good every once in a while, but not everyday. Eating grease-laden burgers and fries, constantly, is going to have adverse effects on your health. Common sense will tell you that. I don't need a broke film maker to make a movie about it.

Basically what I'm saying is that I wouldn't rely on that guy as a sufficient source for you position. What does McDonalds do wrong that Burger King, Hardees, or Jack in the Box doesn't do wrong?

About once a month I splurge and get McDonald's Fries. Super Sized, and a diet coke. I know, i know, strange combination, but I have cut so darn much out of my diet, that it does not hurt to have those tasty fries once a month. Now I am going to have to get 2 larges instead..... see, this is a scam on their part to get people to buy more. So instead of buying one supersize, we are going to have to pay twice as much to get 2 larges or 2 mediums.

if I eat greasy bacon every day I can pretty much guarantee you that it won't have the same effect as McD's does.

All the extra chemicals they put in their foods for flavoring.. yellow dye #5 shrinks your jewels.

i think its crappy they are getting rid of it. If I'm hungry for McD's, then I want to get enough of that greasy stuff that I won't be hungry when I'm done. Or maybe I'm really thirsty and want the bigger drink. but it should be my choice if I want to clog my arteries or not.

Isn't this a weak attempt to reduce the amount of overweight people?
Seems to me that, they're planning something.. Come out with super colossal sized fries. might as well sell tubs of fries..

dam im glad I stopped eating that crap years ago.

Well, as a college kid, it seems that the only thing I can get is fast food because I NEVER have time to just sit down and enjoy a good meal. You want to hear an astonishing truth? I came into school weighing 165, and now I'm right around 185-190. Mind you, I'm 6'2" so it doesn't really show, but I know that it's a result of all the nasty food I'm shoving into my body...Not to mention all the special malted grains that make an occasional appearance.

This is true. However, you can't just put the blame on McDonalds. It's only because they're the most well known of the fast food chains that people are continually attacking them with ridiculous lawsuits. I'm just saying that ALL fast food chains are guilty of the same thing. Not JUST McDonalds.

MCdonald's fries stink anyway. They were much better when they were fried in beef tallowed lard!

Next thread on-

Cannoli's

I never included nor excluded other chains. I agree though, the other chains are just as at fault as Mc'D's ..
