Wow.

A filmmaker ate three meals a day at McDonald's for a month and filmed it.

What a great idea, but it's astonishing what happened to this guy physically. I haven't eaten at McDonald's since August 17, 1996. I remember this, because it was my 20th birthday, and I had I recently become a full-fledged vegetarian. My boyfriend at the time (the Prada model) decided it would be fine to stop at McD's for lunch. Um....yeah. So I can't imagine eating nothing but that. Ick.

Oh, it's terribly unscientific, but I still think it's valuable for being the extreme example. I saw a survey recently that named the percentage of US kids eating fast food daily -- and certainly I think some people would call that "moderate" consumption. I think this guy just kind of serves as an example, sort of in the way that some activism seems "way out there" but still proves a point.
