> When I read the original post's title, the first thing I wondered was > how many people in rfc have seen the movie "Super-size Me" and > specifically what members in this group think about the obesity > epidemic in America zuuum, I just rented and watched the movie. He sure went through a dangerous hell to make a point. The film was very good. I thought his girlfriend was pretty decent about the whole thing, and if I was him, she would be a great comfort to fall back on as a healthy chef, after the last Mac supper! What's wrong with Texas!?? According to the figures (excuse the pun), things don't look good for alot of Texans. And now we have the wonders like the Hardee's Monster Thickburgers, etc. The fast food giants don't give a shit what you eat. I forgot how bad the school cafeterias had gotten. In high school, my senior project was all about food additives. I posted lots of tent cards pointing out the poisons in the foods they served. Granted, most of it was pretty bad nutrition-wise, but we weren't obese. Got the cafeteria workers hopping mad, but I did get an A in the end. One thing that didn't come up in the movie was the production/consumption cost for fast food. Something along the lines of... it cost McDonald $0.45 to make a Big Mac but the consumer pays $1.99. Or 48 oz. of sugar water... probably cost them $0.05. That's practically money for nothing! For them it means "supersize our profit!" Toxic was a good word to decribe fast food. And the advertisers! How do they sleep at night? THE BUMS!!! Imho, Andy (whose last fast food was a sausage/egg/cheese bagel on 12/14/04 from WAWA). |

No, I haven't. I guess I was rude perhaps, but my point was, if I want a Whopper or a Big Bacon Cheeseburger, I want that choice. I sure as hell do not need corporations telling me what I can and cannot order. Once or twice a year, that's all that will do, a big old friggin burger and fries. Things are different, I guess. When I was a kid, I didn't have pocket change to run around buying fast food. I had a lunchbag. Sandwich, maybe raisins or cookies, a friggin apple. Point being, I could buy a salad from Acme. I go to Wendy's, I want a BURGER. Not so much since they have gone so far downhill, but you get my meaning. I don't need them telling me what to order, that's all. nancy |

This food isn't a "treat" anymore.. it's the mainstay diet of a large majority of people. Didn't some poster here on RFC just write that she took her 14 month old to eat fast food 3-4 times a WEEK!?! That's just plain disgusting as well as being a really lousy parent (IMO). So this movie should really be seen.. reminds us how far we've come from that occasional treat. Blecck. Goomba |

That is just ridiculous. > So this movie > should really be seen.. reminds us how far we've > come from that occasional treat. Blecck. I'm sincerely not arguing whether people should see it or not. Common sense tells you, you don't eat fast food every day, not even close. My point was, don't take my choices away because some people abuse them. But, they have the right to make those choices, even if I think it's stupid. What bugs me is feeding it to kids. They don't have a choice. Parents need to get a grip on that issue. nancy |

It is through faith, and the glowing feeling that Existence has humbled itself before mankind, and set a simple example of good will and love towards one another, but especially, forgiving each other.
