McDonald's 1, healthy eating 0.

Remember this? This guy ate McDonald's for 30 days and watched his health deteriorate in many ways, and made a documentary about it.

So what does McDougle's do in response? They're phasing out SUPER SIZING. Oh man, I can't wait for the idiots on the street to line up and say how much McDougle's cares about the health of the world!

So does that mean it'll now take 60 days for your health to deteriorate?

I'm so tired of hearing about fast food and one's health. Seriously, did anyone honestly think this stuff was actually good for your body?

I just find the marketing strategy brilliant.

a) They'll sell more product because people still want the same amount of trash, so they'll just buy 2 orders of fries or an extra burger or something.

b) They'll get the idiot sympathy thing, people who think "look, they really care!" and probably win back a customer or two

c) They directly responded to a large controversy by eliminating the very title of their attacker. Super Size Me won't mean much to short attention spans because there is no such thing as Super Size anymore.

I stopped eating fast food around mid-December and couldn't be happier about it.

I quit, for the most part, eating fast food after I graduated college. I only eat it if I have to have something quick to eat.
