It's great food. just like chocolate. very nutritious, pound for pound,
based on caloric intake.

now, if _I_ was told that I had to live on McD's for a month... and would
get paid for the priveledge... I'd probably eat there twice a day (I'd
at least have a budget for caloric intake), and
hike the rest of the time. If I could, I'd get someone to "airdrop" the
food, so that I wouldn't have to stop hiking. I figure, in a month, I
could
at least get to Canada...

This bears investigation... specifically crosschecking against other
cultures with similar diets (think Inuit). could just be a weird genetic
predisposition (doubtful, tho).

did mr. idiot try to burn off any cals? guess not. doubt he had
calculated how many kaycees he had before the "diet".

against the fast food people!

I know people who lost weight on an "O" Diet. That's an order of The
Original Hot Dog Shop's fries (and maybe a burger), once a day. that's
all you'll need.
