I saw "Super Size Me" on July 3. I consider the documentary a horror movie not because of it low-budget production quality nor genre but its scary warning about what you eat. In USA, as a lazy person, we eat as convenice as possible. Our lovely golden arch is just around the corner, I just need to stop by, pop up five bucks and it can satisfy my hungry ghost reincarnation for a few hours every day. Good deal! Isn't it? But as one eats from them continuously, one is over-nutrient without exercise (e.g. drive all the time without walking like most of the non-Californian). One is destined to look like Jabba the Hutt. I guess the advance of civilization benefits us this luxury. There are a few facts need to be reminded:
1. The hosts ate for 30 days in pure McDonald meals. Before the meals, he was in perfectly good health but just after ONE week, he gained 12 pounds. All his doctors mentioned about his deteriorated health and advised him to stop as soon as he can.
2. He ordered super size ONLY IF he was asked. He ordered only 7 times over the time-span. But as calculated from nutritionist, he almost ate one pound of sugar every day for these 30 days.
3. The Big Mac guy in Arizona never eat french fries. So, I guess if you want to sustain a McDonald meal, don't eat fries.
