Fast Food Weakness

[fusangite]

On a somewhat related sidenote, I have a cold right now I am ravenously hungry. I just ate dinner, but am still hungry. Do colds normally do this?

Only when you treat the symptoms the way I do.

Then how about this? The next time someone says "I like to eat/do X" don't come in and say "Don't eat/do X! X is bad for you!" That's being a drama queen and threadcrapping all at once. You don't care about Queen D's health. You just wanted a chance to get on your soapbox and proclaim that McDonald's is contributing to the continuing obesity of Americans. By all means, go ahead and make your proclomations; just start your own thread for it.

I'm with reveal here. I don't disagree with a single point in the book you cite but I wouldn't bring it up on a thread like this. Of course fast food's bad for you. I thought that was the premise of the thread.

Wrappers of Big MACs and I guess other foods at McDonalds will now be having the nutrition info on it.

I thought they were going to have big print on the wrapper that says "WARNING: EATING THIS WILL KILL YOU. TRY THE FRUIT, YOU FAT BASTARD."

"Feed a cold, starve a fever."

I started it in this thread because it was on-topic. I do care about Queen D's health, as much as I care about the health of every single person who puts that crap into their bodies. Soapbox? Sure. Unwelcome? Appears so. Unwarranted, off-topic, or rude? No. Rude--that's you calling me a drama queen. :\

Rude is pulling out your soapbox to crap on something that brings another person happiness. If this had been a thread discussing what kinds of cigarettes people like, would you have jumped in and said "Smoking can kill you. You should stop?" I doubt it because everyone with an ounce of sense knows that inhaling smoke into your lungs will kill you.

So why do it in this thread? At this point, everyone here is, apparently, well aware of the fact that food at fast food restaurants are crawling with saturated fats and the like. So why jump up and try to "save us" here? Why not let people enjoy themselves and have a pleasent discussion of what they like?

What you are doing here is suggesting that QD is not smart enough to know fast food is bad for her. That's insulting. Your message in this thread is, "If people don't live as I live, it is because they are basically unintelligent or ignorant." Every person on this thread knows fast food is thoroughly unhealthy; that's why we're discussing it as a guilty pleasure.

I personally encourage people in their early 20s, as QD is, to drink heavily, eat fast food and enjoy all the physically taxing yet enjoyable passtimes that their bodies won't be able to handle even 10 years hence.

EDIT: Reveal beat me to it by a few seconds. To be fair, I made the mistake ForceUser made with the vegetarianism thread but then realized what an ass I was being and suggested that others stop giving the vegetarians a hard time. So, there is still time to repent, ForceUser.

McDonalds should put that on their wrappers preemptively; I bet sales would increase. Then they could produce a limited edition of wrappers promoted by Paris Hilton that changed the final words to "YOU BULIMIC SLUT."

I just shot water out my nose! Thanks, I needed that!
