I am watching this, but its a very one-sided view, which he has admitted to. If he went to Gordon Ramsey's place and eat all the stuff he serves, things like cake etc, then it would have the same result.

Anything taken to extremes is bad for you.

Still shocking to see what it does to his body thou

Well - as I type he's just heaved for the first time....

TBH, at least we don't have the disgracefull sized portions that they have.
But - as some of the people he has spoke to have already said - nobody forces you/me/us/somebody else to eat there.

I saw it at the student cinema last term. Its interesting at the end...something about getting addicted to the fat or something. Anyway you'll see if you watch it...

I agree anything is bad for you if you over do it. some of the nutritional stuff they throw out later in the program is interesting though...

A balanced diet can contain big macs, you just need plenty of different food to balance them. hence balanced.

Beer is a good one for putting on weight. My brother was a good 2 to 3 stone heavier after his fisrt year a uni than he was before.

Get the person serving you to strech a little.

Some of the people i've seen working there could do with the exercise.

didnt bother watching it, cos i object to the sensationalisation of it (is that a word?!).

actually missed it, but wouldnt've watched it anyway.

as said, what do you expect eating the same thing constantly.

and as for the supersizing thing, all food companies do upselling - i had to offer everyone coke and garlic bread at a pizza shop in the bad old days...

Well then they could do with a discount at a multi gym, not more big macs.


Purely from a economic point of view up selling is quite sensible, why give the customer just what he asks for when you could sell him more.

You don't need to go to a gym to get fit.

Burger king is better than MD...but its still not good food. Now fish and chips (fresh fish [ie fresh that morning], not frozen crap) is proper unhealthy good food

Its all a load of Sensationalism jorno c***P

When I came back to the UK 14 years ago and was stuck for a job, The dole said I hadnt enough stamps so I went back to Macdees to turn some cash whilst a real job turned up.
Four years before, I had come over for a working holiday to see my folks, for half a year and the rand was on its *rs* so holiday cash didnt go very far. macs was a good gig cause you could work flexi time and they fed you. I ate macs for six months that time and I never suffered.

I came back to Carnoustie to find very few openings in the area. The wife had found a job in Dunfermline so we ended up moving there. Still no job for me, so ended up giving a former staff member a call, he was now a very senior manager.
Temp job at Macs whilst I sorted out the 16 edition and other local electrical qualifications.

Now not having a lot of money I ate at work for nearly a year and a half, Macs grub and very little else. So dont believe this jurnos line BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT TWICE>

Would I do it again? Only if I was on the bones of my *rs*.

And those bleeding donuts They made great fillers when you are hungry but I cant stand em now.

Yes you can eat macs and macs only for a year and suffer very little side effects.


PS I met my wife in MACS she was my training person!

Way I see it is that it aint an acamedic paper - its not supposed to serve that function - its a film!

If you watched anyone reading out an article from the a nutrition journal no-one would watch it - so it has to have an element of sensationalism to get aired.

I didnt really think it was a film really - seemed like more akin to Michael Moores bowling for columbine documentary but i liked for it for what it was - an intersting TV programme with a genuine message - really made me want to go for a run though - besides - was it just me or did the dude not really look that fat at the end?!

You are what you eat....

So don't eat vegetables. BK is weird because everything you get looks just like the picture. McDonalds is handy, they've replaced the public toilet as a handy stopping place when you are on a run anywhere.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I have been a "Fan" of the FINE SCOTTISH RESTRAUNT for many years and although I do not want to eat it for every meal every day there are a couple of things to say it its favor , the hygene is always good , the food is cheap and where ever you go you KNOW what to expect and when you are traveling that is a good thing . Like all things ,good in moderation .
Best wishes
