Comments on: The McDonald’s Diet http://www.yazadjal.com/2004/10/14/the-mcdonalds-diet/ Tue, 02 Dec 2008 14:38:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.1 by: Obewan http://www.yazadjal.com/2004/10/14/the-mcdonalds-diet/#comment-11954 Wed, 08 Nov 2006 11:52:37 +0000 http://www.yazadjal.com/2004/10/14/the-mcdonalds-diet/#comment-11954 Macs...what is it all about. Well its not about calories its about disease and each of you are subjected to disease each and every time you eat at one of these establishments. Here is the deal....sick cattle are being slaughtered and put in the hamburger meat you are eating in all of these fast food resturants. Cattle are sick by nature and 80% of all disease can be traced to cattle and the dairy products you are consuming. I do not see anyone laying on their backs sucking off a udder in any field and yet you have been sold this concept and that dairy is beneficial. Under no circumstance should any human be consuming any dairy products of any kind. Why? When your mother weaned you...that was it ....never again did you ever need a dairy product. Each of you have been lied to.. like sheep and you have stepped into the world of disease promoted for financial gain for several industries. Those making the poison called fast food and those fixing the disease...your doctors. 80% of all cattle have the HLTV-1 virus that causes leukemia and is responsible for many disease progressions. In fact all disease pathogens can be found in these two products and each of you will suffer from this consumption in later years of life as these pathogens lay dormant until your immune system fails and allows them loose in your system. We are talking about billions of dollars and you are the commodity. I wish someone had told this to me when I was twenty.....but no one did and the FDA allowed it for all of us. Why you say...money.....and its power. Here is the deal....big farmers put little farmers out of business. Big farmers deplete the soil and scientist gets involved. Synthetic fertilzers are used to stimulate growth. These nitates go to ocean create "Dead Zones". Global weather changes drought or rain....spike-up nitrates in crops. Crops processed and you eat them..auto immune disease progressions begin. Animal feed crops spike-up nitrates and are fed to cattle etc.. Cattle get sick do not grow and dairy cows produce less milk. Scientist gets involved and pumps hormones into cattle to help growth and increase milk production. Dairy cows get more infections in udder and they use antibiotics to solve mastitis. This milk and drug usage are processed in dairy products and you consume them. Your gut and any antibiotic use allows transfer of pathogen to your body....you and your children will be sick in the future. These two products hamburger and dairy have the worse lipids and heart disease is the result. Every cancer is pathogen driven and every lesion or tumor can be traced to these two products. Breast cancer is a direct result of these two products..dairy products absorb radiation and these mastitis cattle infections are giving women breast cancer by consuming dairy products. The lipids and the attached synthetic vitamin D...which is really a hormone then change the immune signalling process and carry the food needed for the invading pathogen...how nice. Progress...you can now work longer....you can now eat on the road......you need not have meals at home and promote health and family values.....you can now be more productive for your government....make more money....any create more taxes for them to collect. You are feeding two industries working hand in hand to take your money in the future when you are sick. How nice. You should all start bahhhing..... like the sheep you really are.

Spurlock exercised as much as an average American or McD-eater would. Walked as much as everyone usually does..about 4500-5000 steps. It is a myth that all americans exercise. Those who do, don't eat at McDonalds. I disagree. Spurlock exercised as much as an average American or McD-eater would. Walked as much as everyone usually does..about 4500-5000 steps.

You attack a ghost sentence and then make a big assumption "those who do (exercise) don't eat at McDonalds" eh? Sounds like an exaggeration! I exercise and I eat at McDonalds too. The reason I liked Truth in Fitness is that Weaver takes a balanced opinion. Spurlock’s conclusion is that there is a “fast food epidemic” – no, what’s epidemic is a lack of responsibility. Blaming the burger flipper for stuffing your face is simply shifting responsibility. I wrote again on the topic because I saw Spurlock as being spurious. Two others tried out a McDonald’s diet and actually lost weight! There’s a pretty interesting comparison between Soso Whaley and Morgan Spurlock <a href="http://www.cfif.org/htdocs/freedomline/current/in_our_opinion/super_size_me_down_size_me.htm" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I like the bottom line: <blockquote>Whaley: Responsible eating and exercise yielded a healthy body and enjoyable lifestyle. Spurlock: Irresponsible consumption and no activity led to weight gain and ill health. </blockquote> I never said all Americans exercise.

Spurlock was merely trying to highlight that fact...he did admit that his program was extreme but he also noted that people who eat fast food 4-5 times a week exist...and that is not a healthy sign. “Irresponsible consumption and no activity” is what many inner-city residents do.

You have to log on to their website to get their information. Legally speaking a disclaimer (like cigarettes have) would be ok as then they can say that it is not their fault but the customers choice. Howver in order to argue that, they have to provide the customer with sufficient information to make that choice.

Even an animal knows the kind of food that is good for it and has an instinctive avoidance of poisonous stuff. Most animals above the level of insects know how to&#160;feed their young. What kind of creatures can ask, without any shame, that a corporation take over these functions for them? </p> Seriously, what kind of subhuman creatures have Americans turned into?

Interestingly humans are one of the few species who do not automatically know how to take care of their young. Hence you have the professions of wet nannies and postrum doulas who are trained professional who are hired to 'train' mothers on how to take care of their newly borns. So yes animals know how to take care of their young but somewhere along the evolutionary path we humans lost our instincts which is why we need calorie count labels to know what we are eating Interesting point that you raise Ravikiran.

We have two examples: 1. Spurlock, who exclusively ate McD food for a month, without altering his lifestyle too much. 2. Whaley, who exclusively ate McD food for a month, and started a disciplined exercise regimen. Take home message is that McD food is not good for you, but the responsibility lies with YOU not with McD.

The dominant colour on the menu-boards in the McD restaurants is now green, with a variety of salad offerings and a lot of grilled meat offerings. As a result, the overall calorific values of their foods has reduced drastically since the time Spurlock tried his stunt. In any case, Spurlock's stunt was just that!... a stunt!! It did not have much of a utility value since it would only be a fool who would do something like that in real life. And of course, I wonder what would happen if someone tried to do something similar in India... eating out every single day. Imagine eating all those rich, spicy, laden-with-oil curries for a month!!
