....when you feel like eating fast food, or even talk about fast food.

The guy in the movie ate McDonalds THREE times a day for like a month, of course he got fat and felt depressed!

And of course I'm not saying you should eat it regularly, but it isn't going to kill you if you eat it once every blue moon.

Honestly, people stuff themselves with birthday cake, halloween candy, and other treats, but in moderation right? Even bananas can be bad for you if you eat them too much.

Who else here eats fast food?

The only people I ever heard of that hate fast food are on the internet. Everyone I know eats fast food at least a couple times a week.

I try not to and, thankfully, the burgers at local restaurants are ten times tastier and healthier. Not to mention they're just as inexpensive.

Honestly though I think everyone should know moderation is the key ...

I never get comments or looks for eating lots of fast food. Probably because they think I'm buying it for someone else. :P While I'm an average-ish 6'-0" and 185 lb, I look a lot thinner than that for some reason, so they must assume I'm not eating it..

The entire premise of Super Size Me was completely idiotic. A bit like running full-speed, head-first into an oak tree to prove that it hurts.

I'm a poor college student that lives off campus. I budget my money to groceries.

I only resort to fast food if I'm out of food and really don't feel like grocery shopping. After working at McDonalds and other theme park food places, I really cant stomach fast food.

The point of that movie is plainly stated before he goes on that diet. It's because McDonald's claims their food is safe to eat 3 times a day, seven days a week. Duh?

It annoys me when people eat pizza with a fork and knfe, When idiots take metal detectors to the beach, and whenPeople have a lack of sence of humor. "The "Watch Super Size Me", not so much.

Is it just me, or is the word "hipster" being used a lot lately?

Anyhow, I eat fast-food sporadically. Before today, last time I had some was a couple of weeks ago, and before that, I cannot remember. Few months back, most likely. For the most part, I just stick to restaurant helpings.

It's to traumatize children to never eat it. Just look at my brother.... :roll: whenever we get fastfood he freaks out and says he is gonna get fat and says no worries since he will burn it while working out. Yeah... dumbo right there.

Actually it has no affect on you besides putting junk into your body if you eat once in a blue moon. It's just as bad as skipping a meal because you get no nutrients either way.

I eat it when I really have to, I'm not really a huge fastfood fan when it comes to eating it all the time... it starts to get gross.

I hear you on that last part. It took me about a good 8 months or so before I had McDonalds again after I stopped working there towards the end of high school.

I find it very pretentious.....Are your handstoo pure to be soiled by a plain sice of pizza? It doesn't make you look elegant, it makes you look like a gaudy jackass.

Can't say I've ever tried to guilt people into watching Super Size Me.

As for me eating fast food, I'm trying to eat it less and less. I have nothing against it, but I'm trying to improve my eating habits so I can lose weight.

In regards to McDonalds itself, even before I watched Super Size Me, McDonalds already had well-established itself as being one of my least favorite fast-food joints.

Lately people have been going "Go look up what's in nuggets". Yeah, it's disgusting. But I just ate a whole package of jello this morning, and it's made out of cow parts. Mcdonalds is fattening and not good food, but while they're sitting there with their 1200-calorie-a-serving plate of home-made dinner, they're not doing any better.

i have a very unique view on all of this because i have seen both sides of the fence, i have been on the side where i ate fast food a few times a month and im now on the side where i dont go near the stuff, and fast food...the really unhealthy stuff, can really mess you up bad, it can screw with your mood, how you feel, i dont preach to people that eating fast food is the devil but i avoid that stuff as much as i can, theres always a healthier alternative that youll feel better about doing afterwards, because something that always got to me about eating fast food is the feeling of guilt that i got after eating it

Well, just one meal makes me feel pretty disgusting personally. But anyway the film isn't solely about one guy chomping his way through a menu over a couple of months, it's also the questionable marketing strategies directed at children used by fast food corporations and Maccy D's being the biggest is the one they/he targets the most. Everything in moderation for sure though...

to a certain extent he is right, youll probably feel equally bad eating fast food as eating nothing at all for hours, but nutrition wise...some fast food can be "decent"

I got into a fast food binge last year which very detrimentally affected my lifestyle and health. This year I don't eat fast food at all and have subsequently lost 30 pounds.

I agree with your point, still the side effects he experienced were pretty bad - it does attest to the quality of the food. Honestly watching that video made me hungry for Mc Donalds.
