Works either way.

If mcdonalds paid me to eat their food, i would be a wealthy fat bastard.

I dont think he lied about a single thing, but take it with a grain of salt, just like Micheal Moore's stuff.

But how does it change the fact that according to doctors he was healthy before his McDonald's diet and afterwards he gained 25 pounds and damaged his liver?

Also, McDonald's food does not decompose. At all. What do you think that does to your body?

I didnt say it discredited him, all of the information he put out was objective. I just think the overall tone was just a tad more doom and gloom that it needed to be.

I know McDonald's food is terrible for you, I knew that before the movie.

I actually pitched an article that got shot down over at cracked.com that was the most irresponsible fast food there is, i may just go ahead and throw that on my blog or as an article at AC. it was interesting stuff to look up and there are some HORRIFIC meals out there that make Mcdonalds food look like organic vegan health food.

Bare in mind also that he was on a diet of non stop McDonalds food. How much variety can that give him? Eating McDonalds once every now and then (I eat it less than once a month), won't make you unhealthy, as long as the majority of your diet is healthy.

the dieticians in the movie talked about it like you were eating lead and batteries and that you should just not bother ever under any circumstances.

The "meals" KFC throw together here is about as bad as fastfood gets...

Re - the movie, haven't seen it but I understand the concept...not sure why specifically McDonalds was targeted, I think the same results would apply to an exclusive diet of most any food of this nature.
To me, this movie is like, a guy taking a kick in the nuts daily, over a week/month/3 months...seeing the negative effects on his fertility, then blaming the brand of shoes on the guy kicking him.
I haven't cared to see the film, I know this stuff already - if you don't know this stuff already, watching the film won't really make that much of a difference to you either IMO, because evidently you'd absorb fat better than information.

I seldom eat McDs myself, but like I said, $50 and a free lunch, I'm good with.
Ha, 4 of those burgers though, I'm about gonna smash the toilet bowl later on...

So many people I know hate KFC. I actually enjoy it, and I've had it in three different countries. All were nice. Popcorn Chicken: mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Good stuff. Belly full, alongwith the pocket.

Just imagine the queue when they start paying for drinking beer (or rather, tasting the brew).

Hmm...newb?
