Attention compatriots!
http://gladwell.com/2001/2001_03_05_a_fries.htmMcDonalds information. do you know what this stuff is doing to you?
all the half price food we eat? do you know how, exactly, it is affecting you?
did you know mcdonalds also used an oil for cooking fries that almost doubled your risk of a heart attack? that due to this company, anyone who eats their food once a week every week could be cutting 10 years of their life expectancy?
read on, or remain blind to the facts.

It's a great article, isn't it? I don't think anyone can be ignorant of these things nowadays; we just turn a blind eye to it because it's easier that way. Or tastier, or whatever. I still haven't seen Supersize Me, but I imagine that I'll find it shocking despite having read all the spoilers. And yet, it seems not to have made one bit of difference. I recently read this which of course made me lose all faith in any so-called attempt on the part of the Americans to (help the world) slim down and kick the junk food (fast food) habit. Fat may not be in fashion, but it sure is lucrative.
tis quite amazing.
super size me did have an effect though - it brought about the demise of the "super-size meal" and prompted more healthy choices on the menu, which coincidentally, is called the "heathy choice menu" here in aus. (i think, will check tonight when i go to work [i work at maccas])
i dont know how someone could eat one of those 'monster thickburgers' - i feel very full when i finish off a double quarter pounder.
in retrospect too, its a double edged sword. fast food makes them all fat, and then health food clubs/gym membership/personal trainers get em slim. theyre doubled fucked over when you think about it...
You got it. (But what's maccas?) Personally, I don't buy that heatlthy choice menu for a minute. If you want to eat healthy, you won't do it at McD's.
if you mean it literally, maccas is slang for mcdonalds.
true. i work in the back area, hence prepare anything and everything on the menu.
about the only assurance youll get is im too lazy to salt the meat.
best meal you can eat is one you cook yourself.
today i meta friend, went to cinema then we did the burger test. walked aroung piccadily circus and had burgers from different shit brands. ended up in soho in a goth metal bar/eatery asking people about shit junk food. and guess what: they didnt look at as like we were some crazy drunk fuckers, they actually responded. it was a very interesting night. i am drunk now. all these people gave us so many shots, i m glad i m home, safe.
p.s. dave if you 17 i m a virgin
ok i am drunk
wanted to say "if you are 17..."
born on the 15th of January 1988. sorry! lol im definitely 17
i dont know what that makes you then, but im sure someone like you isnt a virgin still....
I wasn't being silly; I've never heard of McD's being called Maccas. Now I know. Of course, I'll have to keep reading the blog to find out what other funny things you Aussies have to say...
Meanwhile, shall we ask the nurse who won the burger test?
Ed's in soho. the best burgers in london. we always end up there, but always try all the other shit. we do the "test" quite often.
I dont like mcdonalds, mark can go and suck his own penis then chew on his own arse! :)
haha. that's one of the chicks that i work with :)
Junky Nurse is a virgin, we all know that.
It's like saying McDonalds are not the healthiest food around. Tell us something new, hahahaha...
I always preferred Wendy's. But those Wendy's blokes in Greece managed to go bankrupt and all restaurants closed. Now we only have Maccas [I'd prefer a solo Macca album, if u catch my drift] and Goody's that are the greek answer to fast food chains. And there were Hambo and Kenny Roger's Roasters with this jukebox playing country cds and songs by Garth Brooks and Billy Ray Cyrus [no wonder they closed down as well] and there's KFC from whom no one really orders anything, and those Papas Fritas empire up in Northern Greece and all those Pizza Brands and...
have you noticed that after a while, all delivery food tastes exactly the same? It doesn't matter if it's a pizza or a burger or french fries or even a souvlaki [sorry, no burritos here].
Rumour has it that there is a greek version of Super Size Me being shot these days. But attention Junky Nurse. This film is xxx rated and not suitable for virgins. Because, you know how these things work, in Greece, there is only ONE thing at bigger size than your average BigMac...
God I am so vulgar...
:-)
meh.
apparently mcd's gives you the shits if you eat clean - or so says my muscle-bound friend who eats all healthy food.
