I have never tasted a Big Mac. It's weird, I know. I used to always get a Quarter Pounder.
Ditto, actually. I've never had one.0 -
mmm Big Macs. Noms.0

The article said 2 Big Mac meals. I'm assuming that means fries and a drink as well.0

"but, 'Supersize Me'..." - anonymous vegan
Spurlock consumed an average of 20.92 megajoules or 5,000 kcal (the equivalent of 9.26 Big Macs) per day during the experiment.
9.26 vs. 1-2. -not so anonymous vegetarian (eta: not trying to be too snarky, wasn't sure if you were quoting an anonymous vegan or you yourself are the not really anonymous vegan ;D)
Also, cals in, cals out. Someone else did a Twinkie diet, and another did an "eat only at 7-11 convenience store" diet and both of them survived. Personally, I like my fruits and veggies ;D
Or did he???

Spurlock, Michael Moore, and Goebbels are all cut from the same cloth.
they are/were PROPAGANDISTS. not scientists. not non-partisan. not intellectually honest.
unfortunately, critical thinking skills are not taught in public schools and lots of folks reach adulthood without the slightest ability to discern if/when they are being deceived by propaganda. this is especially problematic when that propaganda reinforces that person's closely held beliefs/biases.
it's no wonder the anti-McDonald's, anti-fast food, anti-meat, etc. crowd LOVES that crap film known as "Supersize Me" and treats it's conclusions as settled science. it reinforces their deeply held prejudices against the sort of food McDonald's serves.0 -
I saw this on GMA last week. I want to know where to sign up because I LOVE BIG MACS. I haven't had one in a while. That will be my cheat meal one day. I just don't want to give up that many calories in a day!0

My gall bladder would leave my body screaming bloody murder. I like a Big Mac once in a while, but dayum. You would think he would get sick of them!0

me neither. I'm excited to be in such distinguished company :bigsmile:0 -
I love Big Macs0

Sabotage!
I'm strongly considering a Big Mac today with my lunch instead of my usual Chipotle.
(Maybe I'll just have one for dessert. Brilliant!)0 -
I think I'd die.... of boredom.
Seriously, all nutrition considerations aside, wouldn't you just get sick to death of Big Macs?
not if you love them you wouldn't. I LOVE pizza and I could eat it every single day without ever getting bored with it. As a matter of fact I love pizza so much I have trouble controlling my portions with it which is why I don't eat it every single day0 -
Rosinlof said he thinks the state of his health has to do with calories. He said a Big Mac meal is 930 calories, so if he eats two a day that is still less than 2,000 calories and he doesn't eat much more than that.
30 years of little other than Big Mac and fries. :sick: :brokenheart:0 -
My issue with McD's was never the calories, but the fact it's like salted cancer in a bun.0

Isn't Dennis Rosinlof the guy that was in Supersize me? Or is there another guy famous for eating Big Macs every day?0 -

Sounds like an informed opinion0 -
Yup I've also never eaten a Big Mac... I got quarter pounders whenever I went to McDonalds, which was rare enough, and yet I'm still sick of them. I like the McNuggets on the rare occasion I go now :P0

Well, if he eats 3 meals/day, his schedule would lead to about half his meals being Big Mac meals. If he eats 2 meals/day, about 2/3 of his meals were Big Mac meals. He might be like the "twinkie diet" guy and eat a bunch of vegetables the other meals to make up the nutrition. My guess is nothing but Big Mac meals would lead to a variety of health problems. No veg other than iceberg lettuce and something that was probably a tomato once.0 -

Don't forget the chopped veg in the secret sauce0 -
He was on that supersize documentary I think. Funny because he is slim! I guess he must not consume many calories in total even though the big macs, or maybe he has a very physical job.0
