The Genius of Morgan McSpurlock
I finally watched Super Size Me last night.
Spurlock made some interesting and compelling points, especially those concerning his toxic, fatty liver and the fact that he gained 24.5 pounds in thirty days.
Although I don't think this negates the personal responsibility of people to ingest healthy food, his acknowledgment of this fact allows me to appreciate the goals of his experiment.
I've eaten McDonald's a total of four times this year.
In February because I was desperately hungry and it was late. I had a Fish Filet meal.
In March because it was _really_ late and I was desperately hungry. I had a Double Cheeseburger meal.
In May because I actually wanted it and was in a hurry to get to Great America. I had some kind of flakey biscuity sausage McMuffin thing.
And then last night because it was the principle and humor of the whole situation. You practically have to eat McDonald's while watching his flick, although I've only found two other people who agree with this ideaology so far. That's okay. I'm not giving up. I had a Big Mac, a cheeseburger, _and_ most of a large fries.
The fries that never, ever decompose. Ever.
The point was to stuff myself.
Our new hygienist, Lisa, suggested that in order to stave off heart disease I drink some red wine, so I popped open a very lovely bottle of Chumeia. It was a truly excellent meal and one I hope I'm not bound to repeat soon because I'm still full and I have a Mcbrick in my Mctummy. Totally worth it though.
Thanks, Morgan.
