Tonight I flipped through the channels to see if anything good was on and noticed that the movie Supersize Me was playing on Movie Central. Having never watched this much publicized movie, we decided to see what all the hubbub was about. If you are unfamiliar with the show, the basic story line is a guy decides to eat all his meals at McDonald's for a full month.
Now, you should know that Emma and I eat pretty healthy, lots of home cooked meals or eating out at good restaurants. We probably eat fast food only a half dozen times a year, so watching somebody eat McDonald's morning, noon and night for a full month was rather disgusting.
What was even worse was the transformation the poor guy went through during that month. You could literally see the color of his skin change and he gained like 17 pounds in 12 days! Half way through the show I was actually feeling ill. Looking at the processing that goes into most fast food and the chemicals that are added, it is no wonder I feel rather ill when I do eat fast food.
Well, I'm outta here.
