Finally saw "Supersize me" last night

a real eye opener, we all know the food? is bad for us but the interview with the author of "Fast Food Nation" really hit home for me. My 10year old watched it with and she was grossed out, no more Friday night fast food for us..

1. Did you see the bonus feature with the "science experiment"?

Amazing, after 10 weeks under a bell jar, the fries never broke down. Frightening.

3. Cheap food isn't really cheap

Type 2 diabetes can be self-induced and runs about $18,000/year to treat. So a can of Coke actually costs about $6 when you factor in health care.

4. I know it was supposed to keep you from wanting

fast food, but all I could think about is how good a super size fries fresh out of the oil would taste. I did think it was pretty awesome when he chucked out of the window. Too much food with the double quarter pounder.
