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.

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. [}:)]

I don't need to hear that! I lova Maccas!

Got to wonder why anyone would go for a Mac Crap instead of a real burger, I just don't get it.

Penises, scrotumns, noses, ears and anus... there not lying when they say its all 100% beef

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

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.

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.

It's actually in Dianella. Corner Homer St and Bayley St.

Gee this picture looked disgusting when I first saw it this afternoon. I wasn't at all hungry then.
It's t time now and I'm starving.. That hamburger looks delicious.
All that GM corn fed beef, probably full of growth hormones and antibiotics, dripping all over with melted hydrogenated plastic cheese.
Yum yum! I could eat one right now.
Do they have a drive through?

I had a diet/calorie counter book a while back, and surprisingly some of the burgers are reasonably low in fat. Unfortunately you add the chips and coke, and it just blows it out. If you were so inclined, you could eat at those places a lot and still eat reasonably healthy. It's just that most people don't.

I saw at HJ's the other day that the veggie burger has higher energy than the Whopper.
Prolly the veggie pattie soaks up fat (as mashed veggies would I guess) and all the carbs in it
