You vegan misanthropes can't restrain your misplaced emotions OR hide
your contempt for others. Maybe you should try to explain where you
really grew up instead of telling us of your violent streak.

I am a simple farm girl from
Quebec, we are esily confused.

Clearly so because four days later you wrote:

Be that as it may, McD's isn't just a place where weight can be gained.
The Associated Press reported today about people who lost weight on a
sort of reverse "supersize me" plan:

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Inspired by the documentary "Super Size Me," Merab
Morgan decided to give a fast-food-only diet a try. The construction
worker and mother of two ate only at McDonald's for 90 days - and
dropped 37 pounds in the process.

It was a vastly different outcome than what happened in the documentary
to filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, who put on 30 pounds and saw his health
deteriorate after 5,000 calories a day of nothing but McDonald's food.

Morgan, from Raleigh, thought the documentary had unfairly targeted the
world's largest restaurant company, implying that the obese were victims
of a careless corporate giant. People are responsible for what they eat,
she said, not restaurants. The problem with a McDonald's-only diet isn't
what's on the menu, but the choices made from it, she said.
