McDonald's is G00D!

I watched Super-Size Me. Well what can I say, it's one man being stupid and eating McDonald's 3 meals a day for 1 month. Not only that, unless McDonald's sells the product, he can't have it. Which means he can't even eat an apple or drink water unless McD sells it.

So how much damage can 90 meals of McD do to you in one month? The guy could have died. So what was he trying to prove? The AFI (America Fatso Index) is going through the roof because of fastfood eating.

This was actually an entertaining docu-movie and I enjoyed it, though I can't say it had the desired effect on me. I actually eat quite a lot of McD, at least 3-4 times a week. I've been back in Singapore 5 days now and I've already eaten McD twice. I'm thin, and I consider myself healthy. I exercise occasionally, I don't get sick often and I have none of the symptoms described in the show.

There was one special feature in the DVD which Really caught my attention though, and I believe that one 10 minute featurette would have more impact than the whole show. What he did was buy the whole range of McD burgers and a pack of Fries. Then he bought "Normal" street side burgers (made with real meat patties) and "Normal" potato wedges (made with real potatoes). They then dumped all these items into individual canisters and watch them "process" naturally. This little experiment supposedly took 10 weeks before they threw everything out due to the smell.

SO! The normal Burger and Fries began getting moldy within the first week and the McD burgers slighty longer, but nothing of importance. Now, pay attention here. The McDonald's French Fries lasted 10 weeks, which is 2 and a half months WITHOUT decomposing. Not a single mold or fungus grew on them. Is that Real Food?????

I'm going to try this experiment. Probably start this weekend and see if this is true. I'll report as time progresses.
