He chose to eat the unhealthy items on the menu.
He also chose to force feed himself. How many people actually force food
into their guts untill they puke, then be surprised when they have gained
weight. Like somebody else said, the exact same bad results could have been
obtained from force feeding a vegetarian diet.

And then eat it.

Odd... I generally do eat fast food when I'm on a road trip (or in a
real hurry on a busy day with no time to cook) and the McD's salads are
just fine. Brown lettuce? I'd have gotten my money back. ;-)
If you are low carbing, you can get the burger and toss the bun, and
avoid the high fat dressins, skip the french fries or onion rings and
order milk or fruit juice instead of soda or shakes.

It's not as hard as you may think. ;-)
Here is a menu website with nutritional values.
http://www.mcdonalds.com/app_controller.nutrition.menuitems.index.html
This item is actually pretty decent and close to something you might
make at home. Hold the mayo and you are much better fat-wise. A bit high
in sodium and I'd personally toss the bun as I'm avoiding starch:
http://app.mcdonalds.com/bagamcmeal?process=item&itemID=5967
This also is not too bad, and you can cut more fat, again, by holding
the tartar sauce:
http://app.mcdonalds.com/bagamcmeal?process=item&itemID=5926
I see they have chicken breast strips, but they ruined any value they
had by breading and deep frying them. :-P The sandwiches are a better
deal nutritionally.
Their salads look like most of them are pretty good!
Cut back on the dressings to cut back even more on the fat and calories.
http://app.mcdonalds.com/bagamcmeal?process=item&itemID=10070
http://app.mcdonalds.com/bagamcmeal?process=item&itemID=10068
http://app.mcdonalds.com/bagamcmeal?process=item&itemID=10066
These salads look HUGE too and would probably easily last me for 2 meals.
Forget any of them with the "crispy chicken" as you are once again being
faced with deep fat fried breading.
You'd have to be very selective with the breakfast items.
Maybe a bagel and some scrambled eggs.
But, that's a given even at home! No bacon or sausage thank you. ;-)
Here are some perfectly acceptable desserts:
http://app.mcdonalds.com/bagamcmeal?process=item&itemID=4148
http://app.mcdonalds.com/bagamcmeal?process=item&itemID=4149
http://app.mcdonalds.com/bagamcmeal?process=item&itemID=37
There are more if you want to look.
And to drink:
http://app.mcdonalds.com/bagamcmeal?process=item&itemID=10153
Etc., but I'd just have unsweetened ice tea or ice water.
So as you can see, there ARE some "healthy" menu items at MacDonalds!
The movie was [censored]. <G>

Uhhh...no. He ate every single item on their menu at least once, not just
the unhealthy ones. He also only ordered super-sized meals when they were
explicitly offered to him.
Was it a "political" documentary...of course it was. And, it had the
intended effect - McD's ended their practice of supersizing.

That's just stupid! Blech!
The scene in which he barfed was early in the movie, and was due to his not
having the typcial American cast-iron gut from year's of eating supersized
[censored]. He ordered a typcial super-sized meal, that many ordinary Americans
eat every day (double cheeseburger, large coke, large fries). But, he was a
pretty healthy guy and his system simply rebelled due to the onslaught of
grease in his gut. By the end of the month, his system had been "trained"
(like so many others in this country) to handle the massive influx of
sugars, fats, and sodium without triggering the puke reflex.

But I'd like to see McDonalds offer to make their OWN documentary using

yogurts, ice tea, etc.
I get your point (and I'm glad to see "supersize" go bye bye for a
number of reasons) but the thing is, JUST eating at McDonalds every day,
if you make good food choices, is not going to do to you what it did to
him. McDonalds is not inherently (sp.?) evil, but after perusing that
menu website, well over 1/2 their menu items are!
So, what do you think of those fat kids in New York that were trying to
sue McDonalds for their obesity and ill health?

Sure, but most people go to McDonald's for their standard fare. I worked at
McDonald's as a teenager, and I can vouch that there is a core customer base
who eat the majority of their meals there. I saw the same people eat
breakfast, lunch, and dinner there. Big Macs and Quarter Pounders outsell
salads at least 2 to 1. Trust me, you're not supposed to push the salads.
You're supposed to push the supersize fries and milkshakes and pies.

So? People don't always order supersized items. I see young girls in
there who never order supersized items. The only ones that do are young
guys and supersized people. It's very possible to eat reasonable sized
meals in McD.

No food is inherently evil. People just need to learn to make good
choices. Heck, what's to stop someone from going to the local store and
eating only cookies every day for a month? Should the local store
stop selling cookies?

I agree with Roger...they should sue their parents. As for the suit against

court costs for clogging up the system with this nonsense.

You'd have to be very selective with the breakfast items.
Maybe a bagel and some scrambled eggs.
But, that's a given even at home! No bacon or sausage thank you. ;-)
A sussage patty at McD has less than 200 calories and is perfectly fine
on a LC diet. I'd never eat a bagel ANYWHERE.
Ditto here and I agree, but I was also posting for those not low
carbing. :-) I avoid bagels also for two reasons. High in carbs AND
high in sodium!
But they are usually pretty low fat.
One nice thing about strict low carbing, (I try to keep carbs to under
20 grams per day) is that fat is not as much of an issue.
I can actually eat egg yolks. ;-d

But I'd like to see McDonalds offer to make their OWN documentary using
a couple of really fat people, and have them order only the salads,
yogurts, ice tea, etc.
There is an article on the web somewhere about a lady who lost 10 lbs
while eating ONLY at McD. It can be done and it ain't so hard.
'zactly!

I get your point (and I'm glad to see "supersize" go bye bye for a
number of reasons) but the thing is, JUST eating at McDonalds every day,
if you make good food choices, is not going to do to you what it did to
him. McDonalds is not inherently (sp.?) evil, but after perusing that
menu website, well over 1/2 their menu items are!
No food is inherently evil. People just need to learn to make good
choices. Heck, what's to stop someone from going to the local store and
eating only cookies every day for a month? Should the local store
stop selling cookies?
Or get sued for making one obese? <G>
Snackwells come to mind......
Idiots think "low fat = low calorie = healthy" but nobody ever said to
eat the whole damn box! IMHO (and this really is just a personal
opinion) sugar is FAR worse for you than most fats!
But, I cook with olive oil too, not lard. ;-)

So, what do you think of those fat kids in New York that were trying to
sue McDonalds for their obesity and ill health?
They should sue their parents.

Was it a "political" documentary...of course it was. And, it had the
intended effect - McD's ended their practice of supersizing.

I agree with Roger...they should sue their parents. As for the suit against
McD's...it should be thrown out of court, and they should be forced to pay
court costs for clogging up the system with this nonsense.
GG
Yep! ;-)
I think if more people doing stupid trivial lawsuits were liable for the
court costs, there would be fewer of them!
And I think that case was initially thrown out of court, or is it still
ongoing? I've not kept up with it.

Unhealthy ones ?? Which are those ??
For example, the ones with trans fatty acids, which are toxic in any amount.

Everything? You'd rather only be moderately happy, moderately rich,
moderately attractive, moderately successful?

an all veggie diet and get the same results !!
You could eat only vegetables and put on the amount of weight, with the
blood lipid and blood pressure changes, that he did on the McD Diet?
Come on, gman, this is <<joni>>'s month. You were supposed to wait until May
to post idiotic things 🙁
