To the OP: Think about it. The complaints about fast food, "junk food"
isn't about gaining weight. It's about cardio-vascular health. You want to
clog your arteries in order to gain weight? Be my guest. Or you could
become educated about what foods you can eat, healthy foods, that also
promote weight gain. Proteins, carbohydrates. Dietary supplement drinks
such as Boost or Ensure. Not FAT FAT FAT. Consult a dietition if you have
problems gaining weight and have a medical need to gain weight.
