no more supersize

I think that getting rid of the supersize option won't help with those who are suing McDonald's because they and/or their children were over-weight. People have a choice on what they want to eat, it's not like anyone was twisting their arm. It's just unfortunate, because most Americans don't have time to sit down and make a healthy dinner because they have too much on their agendas, ie. kids activity and the quickest thing to grab is usually fast food.
As for the money situation with McDonald's, they're still going to be racking in the dough because there's something in their food that almost makes you addicted to it. Plus if someone wanted 'supersize' fries that bad they would just order two regular sizes and that's more profit for McDonalds.

i didn't know they were taking it off their menu ... nor did i know that people were suing them. I think that suing them is pretty stupid because it's not McD's fault that these people go there ... they only have themselves to blame.

'cept worse ... at least smoking is actually proven to be addictive ... McD's is just pure laziness and/or lack of will power ... may sound harsh to some on this forum, but I've never liked McD's ... not even very fond of the taste.
Try and not to let yourself feel like that , because that can cause you to stop trying to lose weight .... Instead just pick up were you left off, and with myself if i do have Mcdonals or something like chocolate I always have a couple of cups of hot water , because hot water helps to clean your system out.... Hope this was a help

It's all about capitalism and how to make money. But some ppl have actually woke up and said "oh my god.. ive put on weight it must be all that fast food ive been eating" Hmmm.. Mcdonalds don't care if they have people gaining weight, as long as they have there money in there pocket by the end of the day.
Heard on the radio that there was apparently a show on some TV channel about a guy that only ate McD's for a month. He gained - I think - 45lbs and came away with liver and kidney damage, that might be irreparable...Haven't seen the show myself, but the radio show host sounded quite shocked and vowed not to eat fast food anymore.
yea i heard abit about that show too, I was watching Rove (a talk showtype of show) and it had the guy on there that actually done that show, and he said that after 15 days (i think) the doctors told him to stop eating Mcdonalds otherwise he could die from it, The doctor said that his colestreol (sorry cant spell lol) was dangerously high, and his kidney and liver were damaged and even apart from that he said, that he was suffering from depression and getting into moods and heaps of other stuff but cant remember lol, but i do remember that they showed how much sugar and fat he would had eaten and it was like 3 big bowls or sugar and 1 really big bowl of fat yuk!!!!..... KIDS DONT TRY THIS AT HOME .......

but, of course, MacDonalds isn't to blame. It's the lack of self-control and laziness that is to blame. They provide decent food quickly, but that's no excuse to eat it on a daily basis. The other fast food restuarants are no different.
Maybe I'm a goody two shoes, but I really love the McD's salads--and the Newman's Own Light Balsamic Vinagrette dressing is awesome on any of the salads. And some have the Campbell's restaurant soups. You can get a healthy, filling meal there.
As far as fast food being addictive, it's sort of true. If you've read _Fast Food Nation_, there is an entire chapter about the flavor and aroma chemicals that are added to almost all processed foods to make them even more delicious (in their fatty way) than homecooked versions of the same thing. No matter what you do, you can't make fries at home that taste like McD's. Their flavor chemicals are patented.

Here in Canada you can still get super size, although, after watching supersize me, me and my girlfriend stop eating fasted food. But one good thing about supersize was, when we did eat there, one of us would get the super size and the other would get the burger of there choice, and we spilt the fries and coke. I know we were cheap-Os but for two University stunted, we had to be.
