Fast Food

[jujo07]

I watched a documentary called Super Size Me the other day and it got me wondering about things.

This man went a McDonald's diet for 31 days. Which means McDonalds for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. After he was done he had gained about 27 pounds, his cholesteral and blood pressure had risen about 60 points, and he was suffering from depression (at least from what I gathered). Whenever he didn't have McDonalds in his hands he was sad and didn't want to do anything. Also his liver was deteriorating, in other words he was having a lot of the same effects as alcoholism.

What I was wondering was do you think over time if you eat fast food like once a week, do you think the same could happen. Also without knowing the outcome of the experiment, would any of you guys do this?

Just a little add on they showed kids pictures of people that are "famous," and it kind of got me laughing to know that 3rd graders knew who Ronald McDonald and Wendy were, yet they didn't know who George Washington or Abraham Lincoln were.

Discuss.
