HEADS UP! MSNBC NOW: Super Size Me
This is that film with the guy that eats at McDonalds every meal for a month. My first time seeing it.

3. No problem. It's good so far. The dude just ate
a super-sized meal and minutes later he was hurtin'. Then he hurled.

2. enjoy, the dvd with the extras had an interview with Eric Schlosser, author of
fast food nation, the interview was mainly about corporate farming and that did it for me. My daughter, husband and i haven't had any FF since 12/15/2004.

4. Yes....
It's on constantly. In the last couple of months, I've probably stumbled upon it at least a dozen times.

The lack of original progamming on MSNBC makes me wonder about it's fate - which makes me worry about Keith Olbermann's fate.

(PS - I worked at a McDonalds nearly full time from age 16 - 20 a loooong time ago. And it should be no secret to anyone that too much of that crap will kill you. Even back then, I could never get over the fact that they deep fried those god-awful apple pies in the same vat as the chicken mcnuggets!)

7. I loved those original apple pies
with the greasy crispy shells! :D Yeah, death in a paper holder, but damn they were good!

Of course, anyone eating that stuff everyday is asking for it. McD's isn't as good as it used to be anyway...though I luurrrrrve sausage egg & cheese McGriddles...hideous for you but once in a blue moon they hit the spot. :)

But Wendy's mops the floor with McD's for quickie road-trip burgers, and some of the best fast food in WI is found at Culver's...mmmmmm, butterburgers! And a lot of Culver's places have free wi-fi, too.

5. I love this movie
The best part is when he asks people on the street to recite the McDonald's Big Mac slogan alongside the pledge.
