you don't want fries with that

remember the last time i rant about fast food? well, i finally had the chance to watch the documentary that i've mentioned, super size me, yesterday. and if it has any effect on me, it does nothing but justifying my belief on fast food. i.e. it will only make your body crumple and fall apart. watching spurlock (the director/producer/guinea pig of the movie) eat and drink nothing but anything in mcdonald's menu three times a day for 30 days is like watching a movie about a person commiting suicide. really. he only held to 3 simple rules:

1. no options, he could only eat and drink what was available over the counter (water included)
2. no supersizing unless offered (he was offered 8 times, 5 of them were when he's in texas; he puked more than once, too)
3. no excuses, he had to eat every item on the menu at least once

and at the end of the movie he'd gained more than 25 lbs (it took me 8 months to lose as much weight) and doubled the chance to get almost every cholesterol-related disease. he had short breathe, got tired easily, sex life went down, you name it. extreme? yes. but that's what you'll get if you continue to eat fast food for years. once you get diabetes, it will cut 17-27 years of your potential life. sounds unpromising to me.

all i can say is, i'm just glad we indonesian don't eat fast food that much. home meal is definitely much better and yummier!!
