Free Cookie w/any Large Size Meal

Has anyone ever seent he movie Super Size Me?

Because this is what it's about....fast food and the negative effects it can have on the body if eaten on a regular basis. I'm no saint for sure. I enjoy my "Ronnies Steak House" as my family and I call it (haha), but in moderation, like a 4 piece nugget and small fry, which trust me I know still isn't great.

It is shocking though that fast food has so many calories in it...I'd probably keel over and die if I ate that much haha!

I highly suggest the movei Super Size Me....it's a documentary of a man who eats McDonalds 3 times a day for I believe a month straight, which, although extreme, is a good example of the damage it can do to your body if not monitored. Part of it is also, he had to eat every single item from the menu at least once and if they asked him to super size it he had to say yes AND finish the entire thing.....even if it made him sick.

It's a partly disturbing documentary but I loved it and have watched it many many times. Also Food Inc. is another great food documentary for anyone interested :happy:

I have to admit....I'm hooked on their Egg McMuffins....I work 5 days a week, but only have to commute to the office 2 days a week (work from my home office the other three days). I usually hit the McD drive through for an Egg McMuffin and a bottled water on days I commute. 300 calories, and the sodium isn't even all that horrible. But I have to be disciplined when they try to hook me into getting the "meal', which comes with a hash brown for only a few cents more. NO THANK YOU!!

I remember a few years ago ( before I swore off Mcdonalds ) I would go in and get the following meal. I had to stop going because one day I ate there and got horribly sick with food poisoning and have been there since.

Typical Meal

1. Dbl Quater Pounder with Cheese
2. Large fry
3. Large Diet Pop ( just prefer the taste )
4. Extra packs of McChicken sauce to dip the fries in

I just checked it on their site, a whopping 1700 calories! 102 grams of fat and 118 grams of carbs

My god I'm happy I survived it and that I'm changing my eating habits. You just never stop to think because it tastes so good when your eating it.

That would be the MSG and HFC ...and not only do they make everything taste better....they are also addictive,...I quit eating fast food two years ago and I can't tell you how much better I feel, I still get cravings every once in awhile but realize it will take me less effort to deny myself one time then to give in and then crave it again and again...and when you break it down to the nutritional value it really isn't worth the calories and poison that go along with it. My body and health are worth more than that...

I stopped going to them in the mornings for my coffee and oatmeal and saved myself a few calories. McDonald's feeds into the weight issue it is sad.

My son and I if we go there get a Happy Meal hamburger with apples. I get diet soda and he gets milk. I toss the bun on the burger and eat the apples. He eats the apples and the milk and probably about 1/2 of the bun and the whole burger. That's not terrible and once in a while isn't going to kill us.

I also toss the caramel sauce that comes with the apples. My son is almost 4 and I gave it to him once. He played in it instead of eating it. He had caramel in his hair and all over himself. Took 3 shampoos to get it all out.

I saw one of their commericals. Buy one McRib Extra value meal get an ADDITIONAL McRib for $1.00. I dont know if they do this everywhere, but here they offer a different breakfast sandwich combo meal each month with TWO sandwiches for the regular price. I have a soft spot for McDonald's bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits. At 420 calories per sandwich they are a rare treat. I am resposible for what goes in my body. I have the choice to eat there or not. But there is a part of my brain that says "why WOULDN'T I get a FREE sandwich?" Then I slap myself.

The McRib has to be the most disgusting looking thing. Never understood the fascination with it. What is the McRib actually made with?
