My mate now 43 has been eating takeaway pretty much every single day since he left high school,washed down with soft drink.
Mostly McDonalds/Chickentreat which for him is used as an anti-depressant more than nutrition!
Remember when he was a 75kg teenager i challenged him to a sprint at the cricket club. He beat me all ends up by around 20metres---he now plays tennis,cannot run just shuffles.
Now he weighs in at 145kg and he knows the junk food is killing him.
He stopped the daily takeaway/softdrink few years ago when around 125kg,replaced it with water and veggie pizza. Also started walking nearly 2 hours daily.
Result was he dropped to 105kg.
So in approx 3 years he has balloned an additional 40kg or a kilogram plus a month.
Read other day in the last 50 years average adult weight has increased by 3 stone,that is around 20kg.
The great taste has consequences.
Almost all studies done on meat taste tests show that people prefer the taste of meat after it has been hanging in a cool room for about TWO WEEKS!
So no, I don't think it will catch on .
Anyone who lives on this stuff is working their way towards an early demise.
And worse than that, they are a drain on the public health system while they are on their way. And worse than that, they are driving the cost of my health insurance up by being such fat unhealthy slobs.
Once a month ok. ![]()
Once a week ,.. hmmm maybe. ![]()
Two or three times a week, definitely not. ![]()
Every day?? You've got to be joking. ![]()
Gee, I think I might have just agreed with pm33.
It might be time to nip out and shoot myself. ![]()
I've just gone two years without HJ, McDonalds, Chicken Treat, KFC etc etc, I was putting on 1-2 kg a year since I left school, I've stopped that and am currently sitting at what weight I was about ten years ago. Everytime I drive past Maccas I long for a large double quarter pounder meal, but I know if I have one I'm in trouble. [}:)]
The new HJ's barramundi burger is not bad - real aussie barra, apparently.
It the chips & coke that push the calories above what you really need, unless you've got a triathlon planned between afternoon meetings.
For those that haven't already seen it, check out the movie "Supersize me"
and also "Food Inc"
Oh, btw, Petermac, you often get a hard time on these forums; I gladly green thumbed your post as you pretty much hit the nail on the head ![]()
Maccas is for pussies.
Hit up Novembars in Morely for the fat boy burger challenge. For a real protein hit. Puts hairs on the chest.
The drive through pick up just removes the last shred of exercise some of these people get.
You see them lined up sitting in cars waiting at the drive through with their fat guts up against the steering wheel, and then a supersized arm comes out the window to pick up bagfulls of fried grease on buns, fried chips in grease, and for desert, frozen sugary whipped grease in a cup, washed down with cold sugary fizzy water.
Geeez! At least get out of the car and walk to the counter to pick it up. It might use just one or two of the 5000 calories that you are about to stuff in your gob.
I don't understand why McDonalds makes people so fat. I sometimes have McDonalds for lunch as there is one across the road from where I work. One of their value meals doesn't really satisfy as much as a donar kebab or a proper hamburger from a takeaway.
Also a decent meal at home like a steak with vegetables is much more satisfying.
Personally I think you can eat whatever you like as long as you are reasonably physically active, ie doing the equivalent of a 10km walk every day. The problem is many people are eating for a labourer while working as a clerk.
I don't really get that video. Someone putting some lamb carcasses out front of a McDonald's restaurant. Is that mean to scare people away? You see sides of beef, lamb or pork in the average butchers.
People love their takeaway junk food,it's convenient and the taste!
They then do a psyop on themselves,that's it not that bad---really.
Much in the same way that pweedas does a pysop on himself regarding building 7,that it wasn't a CD.
You see, if it makes them feel good,they will go there,no matter how ludicrous their psyop is.
Actually a little surprised that pweedas doesn't do a psyops on himself regading junk food too!
Some just don't care,others are just too damn dumb.
Eating animals fed GM corn and kept in inhumane confined conditions is not bad---really.
What ****s me is when ya see all the rubbish scattered through the carparks, the lazy buggers carnt even be arsed getting out of thier car to chuck the rubbish in the bin!
Maccas eaters are the worst.
All that tells me gcdave, is that maccas must use great quality ingredients to last 4 years!![]()
Btw, I don't get how the guest can be an "obesity activist" and obese herself? Not a personal attack by any means, as I'm in the 'obese' category as well according to my BMA.
