6. I had never seen the size
of the super size fries. Is that absurd or what? That box looks bigger than anyones stomach! How could a person eat that much all at once? Enjoy the rest of the movie.

10. I use to eat the super size fries occasionally when I use to eat
at McD's but that was if I didn't have a sandwich and even then it's a lot. I haven't had McD's in several years.

9. Comcast users aren't getting the free weekend...
Or at least the ones in my area.

I was told they've gotten a number of calls, but apparently Showtime didn't inform Comcast XXX days ahead of time, and so they weren't doing it.

:grr:

21. I do Mickey D's once or twice a year. I love me a Big Mac/Fries.
It's pleasure food with NO redeeming value.
I know.

But something magic happens even though I know it is nothing more than cheap meat, bread, condiments and "not so special" sauce.

I love 'em.

God help me.

40. I always avoid McDonalds
But once every few months I get this craving. I need either a Big Mac or Chicken McNuggets. Maybe it has something to do with having McDonalds as a child, like the movie talks about. Maybe they put addictive chemicals in the chicken. Whatever it is, I violate all my principles a few times a year to get that fix. ugh

39. We just rented it at our house.
Eeeek! I can't believe he ate those huge portions!

The movie said that obesity was not epidemic when most people took their meals at home. I thought that was interesting, since American home cooking is not exactly diet food, and children have been exhorted to clean their plates for generations. People can tolerate heavier chow if it's nutritious and in reasonable portions, but supersized junk food is a whole other ball of wax.

The movie has inspired me to put higher-quality meals on the table (not that we were eating poorly before). Nothing like seeing the larger-than-life difference between good and bad food to put a sense of urgency into chopping carrots.

65. Watched it for the 2nd time last night.
I'm glad I am a vegetarian. Even in my meat-eating days, I refused to eat at McDonald's or Burger King or most fast-food places for that matter.
