Using chicken skin reduces the costs of meat. Chicken skin counts as meat. Chicken skin is chewy. McDonalds like to maximize profits.

thanks! I'm going to print this out and put it on the dashboard of my car, so whenever I get the urge to go to McDonalds because I forgot to pack a lunch, I'll just do a fast for lunch 😉

watched it, and then went to grab some nuggets afterwards.

its not like the documentary told me anything i didn't already know. . .

Really. Nothing wrong with a junk food lunch a couple times a week. It's when you eat there EVERY DAY that it becomes a problem.

you'd think after reading Fast Food Nation you'd get the same effect... but nope, I'm just lazy and eat fast food every so often (granted, it makes me sick sometimes, but it's not like I didn't expect it)

Me too. I went to McD's the next weekend and had my first Big Mac in about 10 years.

I read "Fast Food Nation" and the only thing that incredibly asinine propaganda piece did was make me very hungry for a Big Mac.

As far as "Supersize Me" goes, all it proved was that if you stuff yourself well beyond the point where you're full every time you eat, you're going to have health problems. I can't even finish a medium meal at McDonald's and I generally eat only twice a day. Anyone who puts away three meals the same volume as the McDonald's supersized meals is going to have problems no matter if they're getting that food from McDonalds or somewhere else. Basically, all the film proved was that if you're an idiot, you do stupid things.

Yep.

Thinking people realize Supersize Me simply shows the dangers of FORCE FEEDING, not fast food.

You could get the same results with your mother's cooking.

In fact, the same thing is done with Geese to enlarge their liver for Fois Gras.

It isn't the fact that he ate McDonald's. It was the fact that he FORCE FED himself 4-6 times his normal caloric intake, ate when he wasn't hungry, and ate even when it made him feel sick.

I could do this with "health food" and get the same effect.

But all the non-thinking sheep fall for the propaganda. :roll:
 
Mmm...I'm eating some Tyson chicken strips. Now THIS is what the McDonald's ones should taste like.

*wonders if they used the Tyson strips in their commercials*

hey that reminds me, why don't people eat in movies? like when they go to take a drink, they don't really? is there some kind of law against actors actually eating in film?

Because you'd pop if you had to do 50 takes of a single scene.

Hah, I got dragged into watching that with a chick once. On the way home, I pulled into the McDonalds drive through.
She: "What are you doing?"
Me: "I'm hungry."
She: "Uhhhhhhhh... Didn't you just see the documentary?"
Me: "Yep."
Magic Box: "Welcome to McDonalds, may I please take your order?"
Me: "Two large number one's with coke, and a milkshake"
She: "Dude, ew, I don't want anything."
Me: "You? That's all for me!"
She: "EWWWWWWWWWWW."

Never saw her again, as intended. She was far too... Well, she was a fvcking feminazi liberal whackjob, far too concerned with politics for her age. She turned 18 before the election and DIDN'T VOTE, either. Whined like stupid when the results came in, dressed in black (for mourning) along with all the other liberal whackos at school, refused to speak to anyone that didn't agree with their disapproval of the president, etc.

Granted, I did get sick as sh!t, two fvcking Big Mac meals will do that to you. My normal is either a McChicken sandwich or a Crispy Chicken meal, depending on how hungry I am. Their chicken sandwiches far outweigh these pansy Chicken Selects.

For the record, Tyson makes McD's nuggets and strips... other companies may as well, but I know Tyson does. But the specs are given to them by McD.
