The virtues of fast food.

It's almost lunch and i am hungry.

Anyone else like Fast food (ever notice that fast contains the same letters as fats?)

Not necesarrily for every meal, but everyone i know has a soft spot for at least 1 kind of fast food.

I am a conesseur. I appreciate the finer things in life (filet mingon, crepes, fine food), but give me a 7 layer burrito and some extra tasty crispy chicken any day. My favorites are as follows:

McDonalds:
Big mac (with ketchup)
Double Cheeseburger
Chicken McNuggets

Burger King:
Whopper with Cheese
Tender Crisp chicken sandwich

Taco Bell:
Soft taco
Soft Taco supreme
7 layer burrito
Beef burrito
Nachos bel grande
Nacho Cheese Beef Chalupa
Nacho Cheese Beef Gordita
All with Fire Sauce

Kentucy Fried Chicken:
All of it. Biscuits, gravy, chicken (regular or extra tasty crispy), mashed potatoes, cole slaw... the works...

Subway:
BLT sub with cheese.

Wendy's:
Junior cheeseburger deluxe
Junior Bacon Cheeseburger
Chicken Nuggets

I am truly a fast food carnivore....

Do you see why once i went from a physical job to a computer one i went from 198 to 220 in less than 6 months?

I'm 225 as of last weekend, but i am on pretty decent shape. i only eat fast food once a week or so. a HUGE chaneg from the past few years. When i was single, i was eating 1-3 meals a day from fast food restauraunts 3 -6 days a week and going through a 12 pack every 2 -3 days.

And the worst i ever got from all of this was a bit of a beer belly. I'm (very surprisingly) in decent shape.

Watch "Supersize Me".... It will make you think twice when ordering from McDonalds. Doctors said it was damaging this guy's liver from his McDonald diet. He wasnt terribly obese either. They use some weird chemicals in their french fries that supposedly make em stay fresher than normal french fries.

Not sure about the cholesterol, but i imagine it is much better now than it was a couple of years ago. I need to get that checked.


Supersize me was interesting. But i have hard time taking what he said at face value.. His girlfreind was a vegan (in my book, that constitutes "psycho". sorry vegans), and a double quarter pounder made him throw up? Jesus christ, he couldnt have eaten more than a pound of beef in a year for that to happen...


Most of my meals these days are are extremely healthy. My wife prefers to have things as low-fat as possible, so i cook for her, and just modify things to make them a little tastier to me. I dont even use olive oil for most of the food i cook her.

But i love high fat salty food. Love it, love it lo0ve it.

i often get suckered into eating the fast food crap because of the big city lifestyle ... you end up spending all of your time commuting so if there is ant activity after work (kids skating lesson) we grab a bite on the fly.

i always end up feeling shitty after .. always ...

I have found that being away from it for a while causes one to get a bad case of the shits once you have it again.
