Funny that this comes up just after I re-watched Super Size Me ( http://www.supersizeme.com/ ). Should be required watching for anyone thinking about visiting McDonalds...

I also heard that this guy was a Vegan before he started his little documentary. No wonder he got sick. If your body is not used to ever eating meat and you saturate it with that mcdonalds meat, your gonna get sick and throw your body into shock.

42 oz of soda for .89 cents isn't a hot deal, its stupidity at its finest. you'll pay later in health bills and quality of life.

hmm maybe I should start eating there.. I hate their food.. but I do need to gain about 20 lbs 😀 .. but perhaps better quality "food".. as I need some lean muscles..
 
There's nothing wrong with letting yourself go a day or two out of the month. It's when you continually eat like trash that you will see and feel the effects. I always wonder how many of the people that bitch about fast food being healthy are smokers, drive like morons or drink themselves silly.
 
I ate at mcdonalds or something similar every day I was in college, and ended up losing 20lbs during my time there.

The SuperSize Me guy is an idiot... I don't care what type of food you're eating, if you eat til you make yourself puke, its going to be unhealthy for you.
 
The supersizeme guy knew that it wasn't a healthy diet, he just did it to see what would happen and prove the point. None of the three doctors he had examine him, before, during and after had any inkling of the damage it would do to his liver.

He wasn't a vegan - that was his girlfirend, though she did put him on a vegan detox diet afterwards 🙂

Try renting the dvd - there's a lot of interesting stuff in it - like how McD's are pushing into schools (and hospitals!) etc, hooking kids like the tabacco companies used to do with their candy cigarettes.
 
had some today. 2 hambergers @ 49 cents and 2 cheesburgers @ 59 cents.

tasted crap tacular as usual..

there was a limit of 5 total.

wtf.. I am getting hungry again.. I believe they are made from recyled paper and air.. and some animal hair.

To be fair, he made a good point on that part. However, gorging yourself on 3 meals a day while limiting your physical activity to near zero to prove that its unhealthy is pointless. I could easily do the same thing on a vegan diet.
 
No deal in Reno, NV. And they messed up my order. I bit into one of their rancid, nasty-ass pickles in a sammich and nearly threw up.
 
What's up with the "food police" on AT? I keep seeing you guys pop up everytime there is a deal posted for a fast-food restaurant. If you don't like the deal, don't threadcrap. This should apply to fast food as well as to other deals. Don't push your lifestyles on others. Do what's best for yourself and post your garbage on your vegan website.
 
Yuki. I know who you are and where you sleep. So stop talking about the little grease balls of love so badly... and BTW The Nazi Penguin knows.
 
Thank you.

The rules apply to this thread as well:

No thread crapping. If the subject matter of a deal does not interest you, do not post negative comments about it, or about other members, in the thread.

If folks wanna get fat & eat unhealthy that's on them. If you wanna argue the value of this as a Hot Deal vs. other food options, so be it.

yea.. i second that.. when i was 22-23 i ate fast food everyday... and stuffed myself
I also worked out 5 days a week and was on a soccer team that played games once a week(sometimes twice). I lost more weight and was in much better shape then when i did eat healthier during college. :Q
 
I just wonder if there is any connection between the enthusiasm for this deal and everyone on the dockers thread posting OOS on sizes like 38x28, 42x34, etc...


😉

About half the people in this thread would disagree with you. If you KNOW that a "hot" deal is NOT a "hot" deal then you should be able to express yourself. This is not threadcrapping it's the truth.

Where have you been the last number of years. It is a well known fact that fast food (aka McDonalds) is unhealthy to eat. Forget about Supersize Me just go down to the local hospital and sit down for a while. I've seen my share of death and anyone who takes advantage of this "hot" deal is just asking for it.

Why is over half of the adult population of this country calssified as OBESE? Well, let's see ...duh!

had some today. 2 hambergers @ 49 cents and 2 cheesburgers @ 59 cents.

That's great! Did you also consider that you just consumed about 50 grams of fat in one "meal"?

The bottom line is that whatever you do (aka eat crap and wonder why you die prematurely) affects all the rest of us in higher insurance premiums and medicare costs.
