sleepingfish · 29-04-2005, 05:00

Haha. That guy ate 9 Big Macs on his first trip to McD's. Filth.

Great film.

Reminds me of the times when I were a lad and we used to have Chicken McNugget eating competitions. Harder than it sounds, also when we used to have 'laser-disc' marathon weekends and used to order 30 hamburgers and 30 cheeseburgers between 4 of us to last the weekend (with a microwave next to the sofa!)

laser-discs? They sound futuristic

xthekillingx · 29-04-2005, 05:42

It was good, but it still hasnt put me off McDonalds.

Although saying that, I'd still go for Burger King everytime.

Each day, 1 in 4 Americans visits a fast food restaurant

In 1972, we spent 3 billion a year on fast food - today we spend more than 110 billion

McDonald's feeds more than 46 million people a day - more than the entire population of Spain

French fries are the most eaten vegetable in America

You would have to walk for seven hours straight to burn off a Super Sized Coke, fry and Big Mac

In the U.S., we eat more than 1,000,000 animals an hour

60 % of all Americans are either overweight or obese

One in every three children born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime

Left unabated, obesity will surpass smoking as the leading cause of preventable death in America

Obesity has been linked to: Hypertension, Coronary Heart Disease, Adult Onset Diabetes, Stroke, Gall Bladder Disease, Osteoarthritis, Sleep Apnea, Respiratory Problems, Endometrial, Breast, Prostate and Colon Cancers, Dyslipidemia, steatohepatitis, insulin resistance, breathlessness, Asthma, Hyperuricaemia, reproductive hormone abnormalities, polycystic ovarian syndrome, impaired fertility and lower back pain

The average child sees 10,000 TV advertisements per year

Only seven items on McDonald's entire menu contain no sugar

Willard Scott was the first Ronald McDonald - he was fired for being too fat

McDonald's distributes more toys per year than Toys-R-Us

Diabetes will cut 17-27 years off your life

McDonald's: "Any processing our foods undergo make them more dangerous than unprocessed foods"

The World Health Organization has declared obesity a global epidemic

Eating fast food may be dangerous to your health

McDonald's calls people who eat a lot of their food "Heavy Users"

McDonald's operates more than 30,000 restaurants in more then 100 countries on 6 continents

Before most children can speak they can recognize McDonald's

Surgeon General David Satcher: "Fast food is a major contributor to the obesity epidemic"

Most nutritionists recommend not eating fast food more than once a month

40% of American meals are eaten outside the home

McDonald's represents 43% of total U.S. fast food market

Thing of the past!!!! Basically 12" DVD's that cost about £50 that you had to turn over in the middle of the film.

Bugger - just checked ebay and you can get the films for 99p now

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...sPageName=WDVW - not a bad deal....

pgo · 01-05-2005, 05:29

Haven't seen this movie yet, but when I heard a guy made a documentary of himself eating McD's exclusively for a month and got horrendously unhealthy and rather overweight...my reaction was..."No shit."

Supersize Me wins this year's "Duh" award.

On another note, I ate fast food today. It's been a while. It was wonderfully disgusting.
