Well I had to decide what to write about and it came down to two things “The Dog Story in China” or “What I think about McDonalds/Super Size Me Film”. The latter won because it's fresh and I can't forget the now mysterious “Dog in China” story....which I'll promise to tell you soon!



So I watched the movie “Super Size Me” the other day... because of various recommendations... “you'll never eat McDonalds again....”. Oooooo why not? So we watched it and I did enjoy him getting fatter and fatter because of the 1 month diet of JUST McDonalds!! And the effect on the liver was interesting... but for me, the movie, despite that was pretty pointless... I mean who thinks McDonalds is a healthy meal?? Who exactly thinks fries, burger and a coke is healthy?? Now that McDonalds are being sued is interesting, I think their being punished for their success!! But I think their success is based on the bad education... not just by the education system, but parents, friends... however I think that it's clear to most people that fast food is unhealthy, most of the 'victims' of McDonalds are surely more a victim to their own greed and laziness, than to misinformation on McDonalds part...! I openly admitt that I enjoy McDonalds food, and after summers in America, I did return looking like a bit of a fatty!! But that wasn't due to McDonalds, we only went there about once a week, maximum... it was due to American food! Sloppy Joe's, pizzas, bug juice, burgers, steak, good old fashioned American cuisine!! Sure I enjoyed it, and at summer camp it was perfect, high energy food, but otherwise, it's sooo rich in energy/FAT!!! I think it's a bad thing that McDonalds gets all the blame, just for being the most successful. Sure, theres a higher pecentage of obese Americans now, which is directly correlated to McDonalds growth, but surely that is a result of todays society, not McDonalds fault!! And as McDonalds is probably one of the most successful American companies in the world, surely it should be something Americans should be proud of, not angry or embarassed with!! There's a McDonalds in just about every country on the globe, that's amazing. I remember in China, it was so busy there, always people in there, always people in there, day, evening and night. And actually they weren't fat at all, they were all so skinny. So I think it's time to stop blaming other people and start to place the blame on yourselves. I at the moment am on a bit of a diet, and I 've never blamed other people for a bit of fat here and there, it wasn't the fault of any company, person, or brand. It's upto me and me alone to have a healthy lifestyle and not to be lazy and pop by McDonalds on the way home!!! I will continue to go by McDonalds when I feel like it, but surely not often, in fact I don't remember the last time I went!! But remember it's your life, so don't depend on others to run it for you, or to place the blame on them when things don't go your way!!!

I¡m sure there's a range of opinions out there and please I'd love to hear them, don't be scared to tell me what you think!! I'm lovin' it!!
