Yeah, some of the registered dietitians in the film said to eat fast food once a year, at best.
Of course, others said not at all. Keep in mind that dietitians will give you the "safe" answer. (I know, because I work with 5 of them.) It's not going to kill you to eat fast food three times a year, I'm sure.
For those who haven't seen "SuperSize Me", it's a documentary film. He eats NOTHING but fast food for one whole month, breakfast lunch and dinner. He records how he feels, and visits dietitians and doctors frequently for exams. He even creates a rule for himself: if they ask him if he wants to SuperSize the meal, he must do so.
At one point, he is so sick from eating the fast food that he vomits while eating it.
Funny Part of "Super Size Me": at the end, he puts different foods in glass jars, and lets them sit for months. He records their process of decay every week. Even after months and months (I'm not sure how long, exactly...it could have been 6 to 8 months or more), the McDonald's fries looked exactly the same as the day he put them in the glass jar.
