Fast food nation

Tomorrow night, Favorite Ex and I are going to see, "Super-Size Me," the documentary of a man eating nothing but McDonald's for 30 days, and the effect it has on his body.

You may not know this about me, but I love McDonald's. Love it. Nothing makes me happier than a #2 with a Diet Coke and an apple pie. (Note: I am not one of those silly people that thinks I can counteract greasy fast food with a diet soft drink -- I actually prefer diet soda to regular soda) In fact, I even thought about having McDonald's for lunch today, just in case the film ruined it for me forever. One last hurrah, if you will. If I weren't currently so severely troubled by my epic thighs, I would have.

Well, a woman in New Hampshire is outraged by this film, and has vowed to go on a McDonald's-only diet. Apparently, she's lost 10 pounds so far. Read the article -- it's pretty interesting stuff. I have to say, though -- as fond as I am of what one can purchase beneath the golden arches, I harbor no delusions that eating it is in any way a good idea.
