How fat will she get because it's fast food and everyone knows that makes you fat?

    SuperSize me was an experiment set up from the beginning to fail and shouldn't count as an example of anything except stupidity.

    Forks Over Knives proves, scientifically, why a vegan lifestyle is best.

    LOL^:laugh:

    Maybe she is looking to be Starbucks new face like Jared did with Subways and make millions..

    Its not like she was just eating pastries.

    "Hall said she starts her day off with oatmeal and a black coffee (145 calories); her lunch and dinners are either a "bistro box" (a snack pack of cheeses, breads and fruit) or a panini, which would be between 220-460 calories, MSNBC estimated. "If I go on a bike ride, I can come back and have a brownie!" she said. (That's around $16 a day, not including that good behavior $2.25 brownie, according to a Virginia-area Starbucks barista."


    ETA: Either way she was filling up Starbucks bank account and I am sure they were happy about that.i Think that is worth 1 free drink :)

    Apparently, this act is somehow driven by feminism: "Where are the WOMEN challenging themselves in the world? Where are the effects being shown on a woman’s culture? A woman’s family & children? ... Where is HER VOICE on how an international company is directly or indirectly impacting everything from her waistline to her bottom line and every other woman’s, man’s, child’s, societies and planets world with their presence?"

    Exactly, if the guy only choose McDonalds, yogurt, salads, apple slices, and water or just ate smaller portions, he wouldn't have been so super-sized.

    PR speak for why we should care.

    In reality, Starbucks impact on the world is only minimally seen from the consumer side.

    Hmmmm. I guess I'm not a woman since I eat at home most of the time and am not spending much money at all at places like that. So, it really doesn't impact me at all. :-)

  • Starbucks has some really filling and health meals on the go... I love their chipotle chicken wraps, their smoothies are full of protein fiber and real fruit, and I LOVE coffee... black is only 5 calories and works as an appetite killer! I could TOTALLY loose weight eating only Starbucks.... save money thought?...I dont think so! haha

    Not to mention there have been several follow-up experiments that have had vastly different results (including those in the film Fat Head, which actually questions the authenticity of several of Spurlock's claims).

    Apparently Morgan Spurlock received some funding for "Supersize Me" from that idiot lawyer who was trying to sue McDonalds for making his clients obese.

    Fat Head was secretly funded by McDonald's, you are just becoming a pawn in their game to make the nation obese

    What a moron. Feminism activists can be so annoying.

    I was going to say how annoying that she even calls this feminist. It has nothing to do with feminism at all. So please check your stereotypes at the door.

    Oh wait, this is MFP.

    On the original subject, I am quite sure that after a year of nothing but starbuck's she'll be more fat than she is now. Starbucks adds extra sugar to their drinks, and I can only imagine they do similar things to their food. Plus, there isn't much in terms of healthy options there. Breakfast lunch and dinner, eh? Good luck with that one, "Beautiful Existence"....
