On November 25 there was a story titled “Downsize Me”. If anyone gets more detail out of it that might shed light on the doctor’s experiment please feel free to pass it on here.
Well, I don’t eat there. Wendys gets my very occasional fast food dollars. Very occasionally KFC and Harveys. Never McDonalds.
I don’t eat at any of those places.
they are filthy, the food is NOT food.
Just garbage. Mind you, it’s a free country. If you wanna stuff garbage into yourself go ahead. It’s your body. One less you equals more air and water for me.
Don’t me wrong, I’m all for regulating corporations as needed, but this isn’t one of those cases. People need to regulate what they put in their mouths, not McDonalds.
Steak or Burgers?
At least someone here likes hamburgers.
I admit there are better hamburgers from Mom and Pop shops and upscale restuaurants.
I prefer BBQ hamburgers all beef with fresh veggies.
Mac’s is just a good deal for the money. If you really got cash have filet mignon.
Back in Redneckberg (my hometown) they have free BBQ hamburgers at the hotel tavern, as much as you can eat, every thursday night.
Beer and home made BBQ hamburgers!
Can’t beat it!!!
Filet Mignon? Ugh.
If you’re going to eat steak, go with a Porterhouse. Filet Mignon (ok) and NY STRIP!!! ON THE BONE!!!
WOW!!!
Homemade BBQ Hamburgers are definately the way to go. And they do go well with beer. Especially European/British beer.
One of the best fast food joints is the Short Pump Arby’s. Really nice inside, with a fire place, all kinds of food like roast chicken and prime rib, table service and beer. I love CFL too. That is good chicken.
It was pretty interesting to read up on the work of Soso Whaley, the Aussie that did the oppisite of “Super Size Me”. The link above didnt work but I followed it up with ome searches. Let it be known she is procapitalist, pro-corporate, and pro personal responsibilty. So some may already be offended as much as some are offended by Super Size Me. The biggest difference between Morgan Spurlock and her is the amount of calories ingested. She kept it at a healthy 1800- 2000( I personally think an overweight person should keep at 1500 or so) versus MS who ate in excess of 5000 some days. She also did moderate excersize 1 hour 3x a week.
He gained 25 pounds, added about 65 to his cholesterol,
She lost 10 lbs, and dropped 40 from hers.
This more or less confirms that eating fast food is **** anyways but its not exactly what you eat but how much you eat thats more important.
I cant wait until McD’s has its very own “Jared.”
Steak Heaven
The term “filet mignon” is a French derivative, the literal meaning is small (mignon) bone-less meat (filet). Cut from the small end of the beef tenderloin.
Filet Mignon or Tenderloin Steak is a cut of meat that is considered the king of steaks because of its tender, melt in the mouth texture. It comes from the small end of the tenderloin (called the short loin) which is found on the back rib cage of the animal. Because this area of the animal is not weight-bearing, the connective tissue is not toughened by exercise resulting in extremely tender meat. Filet mignon slices found in the market are generally one to two inches thick and two to three inches in diameter, but true mignons are no more than one inch in diameter and are taken from the tail end.
The Porterhouse steak – large steak from the thick end of the short loin containing a T-shaped bone and large piece of tenderloin.
Strip Loin - also known as top loin - a porterhouse less the tenderloin.
T-bone - from loin area with “T” shaped bone.
Tenderloin - boneless steak.
Sirloin - one of the most popular commercial cuts
Other menu names for the New York Strip Loin:
New York Strip Steak
Kansas City Steak
Shell Steak
Club Steak
Ambassador Steak
Hotel Cut Steak
Beef Loin
Top Loin Steak

Supersize me steaks Mac-O!!!
When I was 8 I was eating a BBQ sandwich watching my brother change a lightbulb. He was standing on a rickty aluminum chair. He fell off the chair and cut the back of his leg open, very deep. The stuff falling out of his leg looked just like my sandwich. I have not eaten anything BBQ since.
Ummmm… porter and stout… and red meat… I’m getting hungry.
