Logically fallacy strawman questions. The facts remain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Head
That if you control your intake and maintain a healthy regimen you can eat every meal at McDs and lose weight.
You answered my question by refusing to answer it...: )
When I played sports in High School I could eat two big Macs a large chocolate shake every day, and I wouldn’t gain an ounce.
Now I so much as look at a Big Mac and my waist size goes up.
What a drag it is getting old.
If people don’t have enough money to eat at MacDonalds, they don’t have enough money to spend on bigger things
What do you think would happen to you if you ate 5000 calories a day and stopped exercising? That’s what Spurlock says he did. Do you really think it would matter if those 5000 calories came from McDs or your favorite salad place? It’s simple math, Spurlock stacked the deck and gullible people still believe him even though he’s been shown to be wrong multiple times. Some people just like making faceless corporations the villain.
Whoppers seem about the same, but I do remember Big Macs being huge sandwiches, much bigger than they are now.
I agree with dicostu. I eat here occasionally and have never worked at one.
For no reason in particular I have not been to McD’s in several months.
Starting to wonder if I, alone, am the entire profit base. lol
I better go get some fries so they don’t go bankrupt.
He did the “average” amount of energy expenditure of a average couch potato. Something like less than 1000 steps per day could have been less. There was no exercise.
Never worked in fast food, rarely eat McD’s. When I do it’s 2 McChickens for a buck per. Have they gone up?
Yeah. That’s one of the big reasons athletes gain weight when they retire, they drop a good 5 to 10 thousand calories from their daily burn and trying to eat 75% less is pretty difficult. Plus of course slowing metabolism.
“If people don’t have enough money to eat at MacDonalds, they don’t have enough money to spend on bigger things”
I agree. I was in car sales for close to 25 years and was constantly amazed by people buying the payment and never figuring the total cost of the purchase. People who don’t track their spending habits are nickel and dimeing themselves to pauper status. We are a nation of financial illiterates.
The churches around here have a food bank and stuff, I guess these dinners are a way to raise money for that.
I know the Elks Lodge also had weekly meals to raise money for a college scholarship.
"A comedian replies to the "Super Size Me" crowd by losing weight on a fast-food diet while demonstrating that almost everything you think you know about the obesity "epidemic" and healthy eating is wrong."
This guy demolishes Spurlock's faulty, biased documentary by eating every meal at McDonald for thirty days, and loses weight and sees his "bad cholesterol" level drop! Watch it, it's quite elucidating.
Did you know Spurlock created his documentary in part because his girlfriend was a vegan, with a vegan food business she wanted to advertise. And guess what, the girlfriend's not a vegan anymore because it was bad for her health!
Dear McDonalds,
Stop hiring people that look like they were just on a episode of COPS.
Sincerely,
Chik fil a and Canes fan
It’s not strange at all that McD’s profits fall in July. July is summertime, premium barbecue season. Who wants a dry, tasteless Big Mac when they can make juicy home-made hamburgers on their grill? Heck even frozen Bubba Burgers taste better than McD’s!
Whoa! What did you fill the tower with? I’ve tried it a few times never got much out of it.
I’ve got one in my neighborhood, great place.
Square-foot mix: one-third potting soil, one-third spaghnum moss, one-third organic compost.
Ours are chicken-wire and cheap bamboo matting, and a couple of tomato stakes to keep ‘em vertical. . .
