I saw "Fast Food Nation" yesterday

In fact, as far as I am concerned, you may have as much as you can. Anyway, you are missing the point.

No, I don't want to watch it.

It is not that I am afraid, it is because I don't want to waste my money on a video. Videos are to be watched once or twice and then it collects dust. It is a total waste.

1. Too much of ANYTHING is bad whether it be grease, sugar, alcohol, crack...you get the idea.
Especially if it contains E.Coli. An excerpt about the movie from allmovie.com:
When the higher-ups at Mickey's corporate offices learn that the frozen meat patties used to make the wildly popular burger have somehow been tainted with contaminated meat, they send marketing executive Don Henderson (Kinnear) on an urgent mission to ensure quality control and find out precisely how their product became compromised. It's a long way from the Southern California boardroom to the immigrant slaughterhouses, though, and the further Henderson works his way through the bustling feedlots and toward the ubiquitous restaurant sites that have become a staple of modern culture, the more he begins to realize just how dangerous convenience can become when it leads to blissfully ignorant complacency.
But, you know, it is just a movie...
We learned in college that McD's uses the sclera of the cow eye to help bind the patty together. That kind of turned me off from fast food period. Oh, and Arby's uses the lowest quality meat that is still acceptable to sell/consume. Another reason to eat organic chicken!

Getting ready to start a batch of bread. Did a couple batches of banana bran muffins yesterday, passed about half of 'em out to friends. Also gave away a tea ring to a tiny Cuban who was complaining that a lack of fattening food was causing her breasts to shrink. Good to see the whole "skin & bones" culture hasn't taken over. :)

It appears that everybody is under the impression that I approve of the documentation. You probably also blame Ken Burns for supporting slavery.

I should give you a random list of what is in my fridge/pantry and see what you come up with...

So if he ate, say, a pound of sugar/day, it would be "illogical" to look at McDonalds' nutrition information to see how exactly one could eat a pound of sugar every day for a month?
The point here is that McDonalds revised their products in light of the movie. I assumed that would be enough, but it seems I have to spell it out for you: THIS MEANS THAT THE NUTRITION STATS ARE NO LONGER VALID AFTER THE FILM. And that is a good thing BTW, about the only good thing about the film... I have no doubt that the man's claims where spiced up for the film -- oh the shock of it!! -- but your argument to prove that is at best just plain absurd. Salt and sugar levels are lower after than before... coincidence?

I'm so gangsta I eat cereal without the milkThat's completely wrong and based on arbitrary and "illogical" assumptions. McDonald's "revised" its menu by adding new items to it (like those lame salads that nobody actually buys) in order to offer healthier "alternatives", which didn't become available until well after I saw the movie. They didn't change the ingredients of the classic big macs and milk shakes. Plus, if the food was revised to be healthier and had a lower sugar content, he would have had to eat EVEN MORE to consume the amount of sugar he claimed he consumed (making your thinking completely ass-backwards). But you're obviously a dogmatic automaton, so whatever.

So when McDonalds halved the salt levels in their fries, that was by adding salad dressing? :laugh: :laugh:

Oh man, and I thought my last post was pretty obvious. Amazing. Note that the ordering here is significant: 1 - Man with no money makes film to cash in on the salt scare (this was before global warming). 2 - McDonalds get lots of bad press all over the world. Any press is good press and shareholders see an opportunity to attract more customers. 3 - McDonalds lower salt levels in 'added' products and release a big PR release. "We listen! We care!" they cry. "Look at our new salads!" 4 - Espeir sees said film and checks McDonalds web site for leftist conspiracy. "Oh my Bush, they are out to get me!" You can count, right? Four comes after three, which comes after two which comes after one. Therefore: THIS MEANS THAT THE NUTRITION STATS [DURING THE FILM] ARE NO LONGER VALID AFTER THE FILM Talk about arse-backwards. :doh: Salads were introduced before that crappy film was even made, let alone aired. They've been an option on the 'menus' here since I was in college seven years ago. You could even get a fruit salad with whole processed grapes to go with your Big Mac Meal. The only new thing about them has been to split them out and give them 'healthy' names so people don't feel bad while eating their lives away.

Actually he has mentioned both throughout, and both were mentioned by the movie. I thought you claimed to have watched it?

I did. He's falsely claiming that McDonalds changed their existing food items and reduced their salt content (which has nothing to do with sugar) immediately after the film was released. In fact, McDonalds menu changes (which included additional items, and not changes to existing recipes), did not go into effect until well after the film was made. Further, if the menu was made more healthy, then that would have required him to have eaten even more to consume the stated amount of sugar. Basically, the point is that, in a Michael Moore style, he tried to imply that he ate moderate amounts when, in fact, he ate ludicrous amounts of food. The fact is the film is BS and Wulff, as usual, is simply talking out of his ass as he doesn't even know which figure I'm referencing.

Oh brother, thou art dense: <repeat> 1 - Man with no money makes film to cash in on the salt scare (this was before global warming). Yes, salt, not sugar. There was no global sugar scare. 2 - McDonalds get lots of bad press all over the world. Any press is good press and shareholders see an opportunity to attract more customers. 3 - McDonalds lower the levels in 'added' products and release a big PR release. "We listen! We care!" they cry.

Moderate amounts?! LOL. That proves it - you really haven't seen the film have you? He deliberately ate stupid amounts of food to see the effects of it. Do you call five old-style Extra Large Big Mac Meals a day a moderate amount? :wtf: It was intentionally done, not some big leftist consipracy to Bring Down America.

If that is true then it seems I have a distinct advantage over you: I can tell the difference between my arsehole and my mouth. Which figure? You don't even know what you are referencing.
