McDonald's claims it is healthy, they've used the argument quite frequently. It's utter BS ofc. They are lying.

Don't get me wrong I pig out on McD's BigMacs or Quick Giants regularly but I know the truth about this company. I have seen the light MOFOS !!! The light was WHITE ! & it had COLON CANCER written all over it in fluorescent orange colors ! Anyway I'm now back in Europe and eating fast food quite frequently. Great way to eat ! Not.

IMO there's NO WAY those fries can last that long without going moldy unless there's some heavy duty preservative in there. A word on preservatives, those exilirs of life do not get broken down easily. They have actually fed some preservatives that are in our daily diet to animals like rats. After the rats died of natural causes they examined the bones, they found high levels of preservatives in THEIR BONES. LOL! Whenever I eat McD's I remember how my Dad used to say: Good work son! That stuff will preserve you like Tutankhamon !

It's important to teach kids what a normal healthy diet is. Wish someone taught me that in school.
Would have saved me a lot of dead cells ! leading to more powerful revelations of great videos on youchoob!

Supersize me is a great video btw, if anyone has not watched it, do! It's definetly worth watching.

As far as I know they said 'nutricious' not 'healthy', no lie there calories galore. As for the fries, there is an entire chapter dedicated to them in the book I just mentioned, along with some other juicy mcFacts.

Isn't it good when you can store them longer?

They aren't potato at all. They're pure starch. And for the record, the fish sandwich is my favorite item on the McDonald's menu, because it tastes the most like real food.

Edit: that's not really a fair contest. Comparing a real burger and fries to the McDonald's equivalent is like comparing a real fish to one of those singing plastic fish.

No, they're made from potatoes.

Their burgers are also made from beef.

I don't remember hearing their food ever being hyped as "healthy". And if I did, I wouldn't be so dumb as to believe them. Nutritional information is available at any store, on their website, or sometimes even on those crummy paper placemats your food is served on.

Spurlock is a total phony. He's like a Michael Moore who actually has some charisma. In "Supersize Me" he more than doubles his caloric intake, halves his exercise and *gasp* gains weight. OMG, I'm shocked.

In the film, he went to multiple locations to find nutritional information. Presuming you have seen it, perhaps you should watch it again to see what happened.
