apoweyn, if you were making an analogy about bullets then that analogy would make sense 
I agree that people need to take responsibility. I think there is going to be a revolution soon (and when it goes down I’m going to steal me some ice cream)
read somewhere that the guy gain like 25lbs in 27 days and his liver was failing and had high blood pressure, it goes to show you that the stuff we put in our bodies is not good for us all the times.
I ate at McDonalds daily when I was in school and I never got fat. Usually all I’d eat were 2 or 3 McChicken sandwhiches, and usually no fries or anything. If you spit out the grissle that is found in about 50% of the McChicken sandwhiches, they’re not that bad. Of course, the Crispy Chicken sandwhich is a lot better, but it’s also 3 times as expensive.
You know why I ate at McDonalds and Wendy’s every day (sometimes multiple times a day)???
Because they have 99 cent and $1 dollar menus.
Fuck paying $3.50 for a chicken sandwhich when I can get almost the same thing at McDonalds for 99 cents.
And what’s the difference at Wendy’s between a doublestack with cheese (99 cent menu) and a regular hamburger? $2.00, a tomato, and a piece of lettuce. So yeah, you’re not getting a tomato or lettuce, but you’re getting almost as much beef (read: calories and protein) as you are with the burger that costs 3 times as much.
So that’s what poor college students do. And you know how much protein is in one order of Wendy’s chicken nuggest that are only a dollar? More than 1/3 as much as a chicken sandwhich that is 3 times the cost. So three orders of chicken nuggets from Wendy’s = more protein than a chicken sandwhich of similiar cost. Of course then you’re missing the carbs from the bun, etc., but still.
But not everyone is like me. I would divide calories into cost to find out what the best deals were because being in college means you need to buy the cheapest food possible.
indeed, not everyone is like you. lousy ectomorph. :mad:
now go do some cardio. 
fat kids make me angry. they make me angry at the irresoponsible parents.
Yeah but really fat kids tend to have really fat parents. The fat kids will grow up and have fat kids of there own, because its what our society has alowed to become a way of life.
You cant feel sorry for the fat kid today and then hate him in 20 years just because he has become a fat adult.

Its not grissle, its beack.

Yes I can. An adult should know better, even if it goes against they way they were raised. That’s what maturity should do to a person.
McDonald’s sold the bullets. I pulled the trigger. Who’s the bigger idiot?
McDonald’s wasn’t being idiots; they were being business people. They made a product that tasts good then mass marketed it untill people god hooked. We are the idiots for buying into it, then trying to blame them for chasing the American Dream of making it big. Of course it was at the consumer’s expence. Name one sucseful enterprize that wasn’t.
thaibo
not really. every taibo person i know thought they actually knew how to punch and kick. most didn’t lose much weight, though.

Yeah, but still look at what I said I ate. If instead of just the sandwhiches I went in and ate 3 large fries and a large shake, then I’d probably gain some weight (in addition to not getting much protein).
i gotta say, mcd is pretty bad. the only good thing i can think of is all that ronald mcdonald house stuff. that was good. but, hell, over half of the whole friggin country is overweight. and that stuff doesn’t even taste that good. i blame the customers for eating that crap. all that ,“mcd made me fat!” is a bunch of BS. mcd helps add to the fast-food lifestyle. the priorities are real messed up.
what happened to that guy’s body really amazed me (not surprised, but amazed). i knew the stuff was bad, but not that bad. guess it is.
think about what he was getting:
low-grade beef with all sorts of additives = protein, saturated fat and additives
low-grade vegetables = freezer burn from sitting in storage for months, a couple vitamins, and little else
white-bread bun = no nutritional value whatsoever other than empty carbohydrate
fries? a little potato, a LOT of low-grade hydrogenated oil and way too much salt
soda? refined sugar, corn syrup (more sugar), colors, preservatives
it’s all crap. there’s little lean protein, a ton of saturated fat, all the oil is hydrogenated, the only thing with micronutrient value is the sparse condiment inclusion and maybe what’s left of the potato in the fries, almost no fiber and just about everything in that meal is a diuretic.
probably a diarrhetic, also, but we’ll leave that to your imagination.

i was just being a dick.

my imagination does wonderful things with a diarrhetic.

That’s what people said about RJ Reynolds 15 years ago.

Yeah, and it’s unfortunate that the whole ridiculous fiasco of the tobacco lawsuit has opened this horrible can of worms.
People are required less and less to take personal responsibility. Anyone who claims that they didn’t know that inhaling smoke from a burning piece of chemical and plant matter was unhealthy has to be a complete moron. Same with people who claim to not know that McDonalds is unhealthy.
All these lawsuits do is make a lot of rich lawyers richer and increase the cost of the product.
Intentionally making a product addictive is what got RJ Reynolds in trouble. They add all that nicotine to the tobacco for “flavor.”:rolleyes:
That’s not too far removed from McDonald’s adding appetite stimulators to their food.
Believe it or not , but corporate America cares nothing about your personal welfare.

Wow, how enlightening. Are you sure?
My point is that the lawsuit accomplished almost nothing in practical terms other than making some people rich.
If the intention is to reduce the use of a product, then this is clearly not the way to accomplish that goal.
Mickey D made my fat, but God made me ugly. And stupid.
MK might come off as sounding a bit cynical, but i agree with him. it p1sses me off that eating crap like that can destroy your body and mcd gets off saying that their food is healthy and nutritious. my mom works at the mall and i went to see her last week. she likes to go walking after lunch and i went with her. about every person i saw was fat.
putting in flavor additives is about as bad as putting addictive substances in cigs in my book.

So what’s the alternative? Sit back and criticize the addicts for not being able to stop? Crack-heads can go into rehab. Nicotine addicts get called “lazy” or accused of having “no will power” for not being to cut the dependency.
If a company make a product that can be harmful if abused, then intentionally makes that product addictive to even a casual user, they should be penalized. How do you penalize a corporation? Make it fork over large sums of cash.

It got them to quit marketing to kids with cartoon ads and raised awareness of the issue. Look at how hard it is to buy cigarrettes at a convenience store now. I remember buying them for my mom all the time when I was kid. Access has been restricted. to people too young to make an informed decision.
I’m not saying shut McD’s down. I’m saying take it out of Jr High and High School cafeterias. Quit the marketing to kids. Educate the public about not relying on Soda and French Fries as your main dietary supplements. Public schools refuse to remove soda machines and allow Pizza Hut and Taco bell to cater the food because it’s cheap and these companies pay $$$$ for the access. I say we have a serious problem.

Er, if I were making an analogy about bullets, putting bullets in the analogy would pretty much make it not an analogy.
