Neat movie (http://www.supersizeme.com/home.aspx?page=aboutmovie).

Large Trailer (http://www.supersizeme.com/home.aspx?page=movietrailer_super) 5mb

It may help explain why Americans are getting so bloody fat and unhealthy. From what I've read, obesity will soon take over Cigarette's place on the "why we die" in America chart.

If only they could sneak this into the next major blockbuster action movie. I fear only the health conscious population will be attacted to this flick.

Did I hear that McD's is doing away with it's supersizing because of the adverse impact it's having and because they're somewhat repsonsible for the levels of obesity in the US and UK .... yep they're starting to get very concerned here too.

Now for the linky link .....

Not only that, Allure magazine reports the following...

"The folks at McDonald's are trying to overhaul the chain's french-fried image by testing the new Go Active! Happy Meal--a grown up, healthier version of the kiddy favorite--at several locations in Indiana. The kit includes a salad and a pedometer meant to encourage you to take 10,000 steps a day."

Yeah...keep trying McD. I gave up on their menu years ago.

They're heavily promoting their new chicken salady meal stuff now .... no more big macs or cheese or milk shakes or FRIES!

I've had about one McDonalds meal in 7 years and that was only because there was no other choice available at the time .... apart from a very dirty looking Greek cafe .... well we were in Greece at the time!

Yeah, i believe it. And i heard Bill Gates has reduced his product line to just one single piece of software because Microsoft wants to give everyone a fair shot in the business, Oh yeah, and they are no longer outsourcing jobs in an effort to stimulate the American economy ;)

I love big business, they really do care about the little guy
