Super Size Me is False

Awesome … I always knew there was something fishy about Supersize Me … I always feel so healthy after having visited McD!

The bigger point here is this: who in their right mind goes to McDonald’s on a daily basis, three times a day, and expects to eat in a healthy manner?

When people decide to make fast food a staple in their lives, they made a choice. It’s not like a McDonald’s crew member stands outside and taunts you if don’t go in.

Food for thought: $15 worth of McDonald’s food in one day will buy you 1 carton of Egg Beaters (the equivalent of half a dozen eggs, except no cholesterol), enough bacon for a week, a quarter pound sirloin tip steak, a 5-lb.bag of potatoes, with $3-5 to spare (out here, anyways) for milk, coffee, tea, or soda. It’s better for you, better tasting, much more filling, and way cheaper – the only downside is that one has to cook for themselves (or, possibly, first learn to cook for themselves).

I really don’t have any sympathy for folks who act like McDonald’s (or any other food chain) “made” them fat. It’s like people who only went to McDonald’s as a “treat” when they were kids decided that, when they grew up, they didn’t need to exercise any restraint, and then are surprised that they don’t feel too good. Well, duh.

You also just gave a good reason why we should completely ignore the bleatings of those who say “poor people aren’t getting enough to eat.” If you go into a supermarket, pick and choose carefully among the staples, and are prepared to take some time at home to, y’know, cook…it’s dirt cheap to feed yourself nutritiously in America. I was at Safeway the other day and found a huge (21 pound!) pork butt in the “soon to be expired, please buy this fast” bin. It cost $6. Yes, six dollars. I brought it home, roasted it, sliced and packed it for freezing. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to look for this sort of deal, plus loss leader sales and just plain old bargains.
I also get a laugh at the people who say the reason these welfare cases eat at fast food places is that they are “too busy” to cook. They’re on freaking welfare! Time is all they have! My mother had two kids, a job, and cooked almost everything from scratch, including bread. I don’t want to hear some welfare queen sniveling about how she “doesn’t have time” to feed her rugrats anything but pizza and Bud Lite. Did you know a single mother of one in San Francisco qualifies for $250 a month in “food coupons and food aid”? Tomoko and I spent less than that last month and we eat healthily and very well.
Of course the reason most people are poor these days is that they are lazy and stupid.

I also laugh about people who talk about “making grandma eat cat food to survive.” Cat food is about 5 times more expensive than hamburger.
