    Any time I want to cut something out of our diet at home I have my boys watch some nasty documentary about it. Usually I am begged never to buy it again! Supersize me worked for McDonalds but then they wanted BK! UGH Facepalm!

    I'm pretty sure my indulgence of McD's yesterday is responsible for my liquid poos today. :/

    Man I feel horrible, the only affect that movie had on me was hating it because it took away the super size (McDonalds), king size (bk), biggie size (Wendy's) and of course my favorite, the McDonalds bucket of fries....... Damn fast food, taste so hours but its so bad. admit I have had fast food at least once a week since I've started to TRY to eat better

    It was very bias, manipulative, and deceptive... But when you're selling a concept people already want to believe in, you'll almost always get positive reviews.

    I typically hate fast food but after watching that movie I just CRAVED fast food like a mofo. Went out and gobbled down a bunch of white castle burgers!

    This is the correct answer.

    Yeah, it's an interesting documentary, but if you eat the same thing of anything for a whole month, you're gonna get sick, so I'm not sure what it was trying to prove.

    I have not watched TV for over 20 years. Doesn't sound like I'm missing much.

    Ya know...I never believe people that say this. But, I suppose that says more about me than you.

    I have heard people say this, then I get to know them, and I find out that they are full of crap. It's kind of a very snotty thing to say, as if people that watch TV are below you. Again, I'm not directing at you, but more at people that say this out of trying to be too cool or something.

    I wont get into that read book and never watch tv. That's like a double whammy. Oh, I never watch tv, I only read. I'm sooo much smarter than you are. LOL. Yeah, ok. Sure.

    This exactly. I guess it's important for those people who were supersizing three meals a day. But for the rest of us, a fast food meal here or there isn't going to hurt you.

    The whole "30 day" series is on Netflix. I've been watching it here and there. Some of it's interesting...some of it is crap (they had this one guy shoot steroids and growth hormones for a month...like I couldn't predict the outcome of that. Yea...the guy didn't even make it 30 days before his body started shutting down).

    The last time I ate at McDonalds was a month or two ago. I had a big mac. It did not agree with me and I spent a good two days off and on the toilet.

    Funny how our bodies change once we start giving it the real fuel it needs. I'm craving an orange right now.

    I eat McDonald's about twice a year, usually after a long cross-country hike when a shoe would be tasty. Taco Bell is my go-to meal when I want to feel dirty. I can have my nachos and double decker tacos and I'm in my happy place. At least until the next morning.

    :flowerforyou: Thank you. There was a "who actually has TIME to watch TV??????" comment in the What Fall TV Shows Are You Excited For thread. It's so annoying. If you don't have time or you just don't watch TV for whatever reason, fine, but don't go around bragging about it like you're so above everyone who does.

    If you have time to chat on internet threads, you have time to watch tv.
