In America, its pretty much always been "the bigger the better". We live in a country where food portions are out of control, where a huge majority of the population is overweight and/or obese, and yet we keep the same old habits! I personally live in the suburbs of one of the fattest cities in the world. Now some people may laugh and say "who cares", but that's what it feels like. It seems as if no one really cares that they're, to put it blatently, fat. In Morgan Spurlock's movie Super-Size Me, he conducted an expirement to see what would happen if he ate only McDonald's food for 30 days straight. Surprise, surprise, the excessive fast food eating lead to serious health problems for Morgan. His blood pressure sky rocketed, he gained a ridiculous amount of weight, and he always felt fatigued.
I felt that his expiriment was a tad extreme, because not very many people eat McDonald's for every meal (with a few exceptions). It did provide for some very eye opening finds though. With these findings he made millions of people realize that they shouldn't eat the junk McDonald's serves. Most do realize this of course, but for some it helped the fact really sink in. For me, it definitely did. I don't eat meat, so I never eat the fat laden burgers, chicken, etc. there, but I don't think I will be stopping by McDonal's anytime soon.

I agree with you! The experiment was far-fetched because no one really eats McDonalds everyday, but i also feel that someone had to publicize what could really happen. Anyone who eats McDonalds everyday doesn't really know what it does to them because they probably don't visit the doctors frequently.
