Do watching documentaries on the negative effects of fastfood deter you...

...from eating it? Sadly, it it doesn't have the effect on me like it should. Of course, I'm not overweight, but I know my cholesterol is higher than it should be and I'm not getting the nutrients that I should. Right now, I'm watching a documentary called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, and it almost makes me want to try the juice fast...

No, most of them are made by hippies and enviormentalist fools to scare you.

Truth is, if you use more calories than you digest, youll be fine.

Nah, man.

No they don't. We had to watch Super Size me in a class in college. As soon as class was over I went straight to McD's. Honestly, the movie made me even MORE comfortable with fast food. He had everything supersized for every meal a day and only gained 10lbs with no real health change. Even when I eat fast food, I typically just get a little double cheeseburger, a small frie and a small soda (if not a water). I'm not porking out there.

You do realize that thats a double standard right? Replacing a regular diet with anything can cause severe problems, fat ass being one of many. Not only that buy eating nothing but junk food in the correct amounts is the equivalent of eating healthy food in the same way.

What does documentaries never tell you is that Mc' Donalds doesnt make you fat, eating like pig does.

I treat overweight people like crap tbh.

Well, I don't eat fast-food since it's, like, not food. (empty calories SUCK. I need energy to function) So I doubt that documentaries would change anything. It's also a waste of my hard earned money.

Acutally their jobs are to stop the harvesting of animals for food. Or simply make money like super size me. Just look at Micheal Phelps, he out eats the fattest redneck in america every day, because he uses all that energy.

I was referring to fast-food itself -- not the documentaries. Those may impart important information regarding what people do to themselves. Health aside, in my opinion, dropping six bucks on a s***ty-tasting meal just to leave me feeling hungry immediately afterwards kinda kinda pisses me off. That's the actual reason I don't eat fast-food, and I simply don't see the appeal. (although, to be fair, I will occasionally purchase a Chipotle Burrito)

No. Though lately I seem to be losing my taste for fast food anyway, I can seldom finish the meals... But no, I figure as long as I get enough exercise, I'll be fine.

Supersize me made me want Mcdonalds. I'm not going to eat like a big nasty beast, but ONE burger or ONE 6 pack of nuggets now and again will not kill me, so I don't feel gross about eating it at all. XilePrincess

being broke is a great deterrent weezyfb

One would be tempted to think that, but for some reason fast-food is disproportionately purchased by those of lower income. I just don't get it.

I can't remember the last time I have had fast food. :?

No. The taste of the crappy food is enough to deter me. In fact, the only fast food I eat are:

American: The Habit, In N Out, Five Guys
Mexican: Baja Fresh, Chipotle, La Salsa
Asian/Chinese: Pei Wei, Pick Up Sticks

I don't get it either because unless you are ordering from the dollar menu, fast foot has become expensive as hell.

Compared to stuff one can purchase at a grocery, not at all. Having grown up on a shoestring budget, my parents considered it "too expensive" whenever I asked for it as a kid.

Yeah fast food is crazy expensive now. A whopper combo on BK is almost $9 now.

I watched a documentary on factory farming and now I don't eat meat but I still consume dairy. I'll give up on dairy when I learn more about veganism. To be honest, I really don't want to eat fast food because it's very unhealthy. I honestly think that if people are going to eat plenty of fast food then they are just begging to die. TheHRchannel

No, being mature is enough a deterrent for me.MetallicaKings

Lol your sig is so insane. WTF AM I WATCHING?

But I also agree with you.

I don't eat fast food a lot, but for a quick meal when you're on the road or if you get in late I think it's fine. In high school I would go to McDonalds during my free periods- it grossed me out a lot less than cafeteria food...

Overall, I eat very healthily and I exercise. The occasional French fry won't kill me. It's just when you get excessive that it becomes an issue.

That's my opinion. It's not so much that it deters me, but my personal taste in food. In all honesty, I actually have a taste for fruit and vegetables over candy and fried food. Seriously. It's not just because of health benefits. I prefer the taste. Yes, I like some "unhealthy" food, but only in moderation.

I don't eat fast food because it doesn't taste that good.

I can cook pretty well and know tons of recipes that taste better than fast food. More importantly (because I'm very lazy), I know tons of recipes that require almost no effort or time and still taste better than just about any fast food.

No, I always eat fast food at sporadic intervals.

No they don't. We had to watch Super Size me in a class in college. As soon as class was over I went straight to McD's. Honestly, the movie made me even MORE comfortable with fast food.

Super Size Me was so horribly biased and ill thought out. You aren't meant to eat at McDonalds three times a day and you certianly aren't meant to consume 4000 to 5000 calories of McDonalds (which is a LOT of food, more than any rational person would order) or any food in general. I think fast food is disgusting and gross but Super Size Me just bothers me because of how deceitful it is.
