I now understand why America is Obese

[Ice]

So I usually have chicken/brocolii, or eggs for dinner, sometimes throwing in a lean piece of steak. I asked my roommate where he wanted to go tonight because I was sick of my usual routine, and he said McDonalds. I thought why not.

So I go in and order a quarter pounder with cheese and a med fry with a diet coke. I finish my meal and look at the nutritional facts on the label. I was appauled. One quarter pounder has 510 cal, 40 carbs, and 12 grams of Sat Fat and my fry had 380 calories with 40 carbs! My stomach now doesn't feel quite right and I might throw up. I really don't understand how anybody could eat this on a daily basis, yet plenty of people I know eat at Micky D's quite a lot. All I had was a burger and fries and I want to vomit right now.

My roommate couldn't understand my disgust and acted as if had just consumed a normal meal. He had a big mac and fries. 1000+ calories is a normal meal?!

So I guess the point of this thread is, is anyone else disgusted by fast food chains?
