People can eat all these Calories and drink down sugar water, but still feel hungry - they are not getting enough fiber in their diet, so they don't feel 'full'.

(does it come with a coupon for your triple bypass?)- picsectionpleez, on 10/17/2007, -1/+38Notice how all these fast food items contain some kind of "gravy" or "special sauce"? The sauce is liquid fat.
- iheartjebus, on 10/17/2007, -2/+9hey, gravy has some carbs too!
player hater... - emjaymj, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2That's pretty much what gravy is. Special sauce at McDonalds is Thousand Island Dressing, and at Subway it's Italian dressing...

- sjbdallas, on 10/17/2007, -2/+10I wonder if it's fatty because it's all processed food, or if it would turn out just as bad if you were to make it at home from real ingredients.
- staplez, on 10/17/2007, -1/+13It would be the similar if it were real ingredients. I find this important to mention because many people fall under the fallacy that if I make it at home with fresh ingredients it won't be that bad. I'm sorry to tell you but there's no way to make 2 eggs, that much meat, cheese and fat sauce (I mean gravy) healthy. Notice how there are no vegetables? Now it's true that the fresh food version may have less chemicals that makes it less likely to give you cancer, however on the heart attack fatty problem? It's about the same. The point is, you can't eat a pound of protein and think it's not going to hurt you.
- MatTipton, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1Right on. People just aren't educated very well on nutrition. It's ridiculous really. I offer to help people out all the time... but some people are so clueless they just can't be helped. Like they don't listen and want to do something else they heard about... and like insinuate that I'm the clueless one or something... all you can do is shake your head and *sigh*... at least I try I suppose it's the right thing to do.
- tnoy, on 10/17/2007, -2/+4A French Toast Slam from Denny's has 75G of fat and 1180 Calories. Most of the breakfast dishes at places like Denny's hover in the 50g range. You're not exactly doing much better by eating a full breakfast instead of something like this.
- MatTipton, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1All the individual ingredients are high in fat... sausage, cheese, gravy, egg yolks, etc. So the short answer is YES, If you made it at home using "Real" ingredients (as you call it)... this would produce almost exactly the same total fat content.
Now, of course, that is of course a direct comparison using the same ingredients. You could obviously change the ingredients... you could use egg whites and lean sausage instead. So technically, if you make it at home you could cut down the fat... but you'd need to change the ingredients to do that. See my post below for similar info...

- br0ck, on 10/16/2007, -1/+10920 calories and 60 grams of fat isn't fare for just the fatties.. there are a lot of people (me included) eating meals this large, since this actually is on par with commonly eaten meals at other fast food restaraunts. A Barbacoa Burrito and chips at Chipotle can easily get over 2000 calories and 96g of fat: http://www.chipotlefan.com/index.php?id=chipotle_c ... and a Whopper with large fries has 1270 calories and 67g of fat: http://www.fastfood.com/Nutrition/burger_king.html
- krets, on 10/17/2007, -1/+17Heh. That Chipotle site is blocked by Websense here at work and categorized as "Hobbies". Only in America would a site dedicated to food be classified as a hobby.
- RyanBlueThunder, on 10/16/2007, -0/+2Wow. I'm blown away by that site. I love Chipotle, and figured that since the food there always seems so fresh that it couldn't be that many calories. I mean, how can a tortilla, chicken, rice, black beans, some corn salsa, and cheese run over 1000 calories?
- emjaymj, on 10/16/2007, -0/+2Black beans, cheese, and to some extent chicken are fatty and contribute a lot to the calories. Tortillas are also loaded with carbs and calories (vastly moreso by weight than any other bread I can think of), and rice isn't much different...
- topoisomerase, on 10/18/2007, -0/+1black beans are not fatty. QED.
- zofobread, on 10/16/2007, -0/+2@RyanBlueTHunder: The white rice at Chipotle is basically cooked in a vat of butter. A heart attack on a plate but sooooo good.

- ISurfTooMuch, on 10/17/2007, -17/+53Sad, very sad. But should we expect anything else from the fast food industry?
If you haven't seen "Super Size Me", then you should. I had the opportunity to see it and chat with Morgan Spurlock afterwards. I guarantee that you won't go back into a fast food place, especially McDonald's, and not have it cross your mind. For the record, while the main theme of the film was his experience eating only McDonald's for a month, he also discusses the state of school lunches. If you're like me and remember when your choices for lunch were white or chocolate milk, and you took the food that the lunch lady gave you, then you won't recognize what lunches look like today.
But back on topic. Am I the only one who thinks that, as our nation seems to be becoming more aware of the dangers of our diets, we're still getting fatter and fatter? It's as if we know more, but we just don't seem to give a damn. Or are we seeing a divergence of two groups of people: one group that is trying to eat healthier, and another group who don't care about their health at all and keep eating as they please, and to hell with the consequences?- krets, on 10/17/2007, -31/+22I saw that piece of crap "documentary" and I still love me some McD's breakfast. Of course, I don't eat it seven mornings a week like a lot of Americans.
- mightydavefish, on 10/17/2007, -15/+8Proud to be dumb. Good for you!
- krets, on 10/17/2007, -4/+18Who says I'm dumb? I know exactly what I'm eating and that's why I don't eat the stuff every day of the week. A couple times a month isn't going to kill me.
- CaptainNoPants, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1Don't worry about dave, it doesn't matter what the topic is he's insulting someone. My bosses girlfriend is on the McD's diet, 3 times a day every day and the size of her ass shows it. Nothing wrong with eating the ***** once in a while, I had a few hashbrowns and a sausage mcmuffin this morning. Just don't make a habit out of it.
- mightydavefish, on 10/17/2007, -15/+8Proud to be dumb. Good for you!
- dorianh49, on 10/17/2007, -18/+4I think the clincher for me was the interview with the author of "Fast Food Nation" in the special features of the "Super Size Me" DVD. I haven't touched McDonalds (or Wendy's, or Burger King, or Taco Bell, etc.) for at least 5 years now because of it. I'm lucky to live in Southern California, though, as there are In-N-Outs everywhere. Yummy! (and, comparatively, much healthier than those other places)
- phisquare, on 10/17/2007, -0/+12Are you serious? In-N-Out is just so healthy for you...
- CaptainNoPants, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1Tacos and jr bacon cheeseburgers are delicious.
- robisfunky, on 10/16/2007, -3/+17 It's really more a matter of exercise than diet for fatties. If people would get off their fat asses and DO something rather than drive everywhere, spend the workday sitting at some desk, and go home and sit on the couch til bed. If folks would get some freakin exercise, the breakfast burrito wouldn't be so dangerous.
- cybermort, on 10/17/2007, -3/+10no not really. when person is eating 4 times the amounts of calories they should be having in one day no amount of exercises is going to slim you down. kids terms, how much food and type of food you eat determines how big/small you are. exercise will determine how fit you are, flabby or tight.
- MDtech, on 10/16/2007, -2/+4Exercise most certainly can slim you down - it's a simple equation. If you expend more calories via exercise than you take in (via eating) - you'll slim down (become smaller). "Flabby or tight" - dictated by both diet and exercise (or lack thereof)
- ubuwalker31, on 10/17/2007, -2/+3If you eat this breakfast + another two 800 calorie meals, you're clocking in around 2400 calories or so. I burned about 300 calories at the gym today over a half hour. Even if I worked out for an hour (600 calories), I'd still have lots to go before I burned the rest away...
- MDtech, on 10/17/2007, -1/+2ubuwalker31:
Of course, you're neglecting your basal metabolic rate, which is responsible for most of the calories your body burns during the day. This is indirectly influenced by your gym workouts- the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn at rest. - ZenMojo, on 10/17/2007, -2/+3For every 3500 calories you put on over your caloric consumption you put on a pound. Sitting on your ass you burn about 2000 calories a day. Moderate exercise raises it to about 400 calories/hour. So if you exercise every day for half an hour, you burn 2200 calories. If you eat 3 of these breakfast burritos (2700 calories), you have a net gain of 500 calories. If you eat three breakfast burritos a day for a week, you put on 1 pound a week. Sorry, but exercise does not miraculously solve your problems.
- MDtech, on 10/16/2007, -0/+0ZenMojo:
Assuming your bmr is 2000 calories/day and you go straight from bed to a 30 minute workout and then straight back to bed (exerting no energy to move between these activities) and do nothing else the rest of the day, I'll agree with you. Of course, most people (at least those that lead an active lifestyle) burn much more than this. In any case, it's not simply a matter of what you eat that dictates your body size (as the post claimed)- but ultimately the balance between what you eat and what you burn.

Need coffee on your drive to work? Use the coffee shop drive-through (Timmies for all the Canadians).
But wait, what is you're short in cash? Use the drive-through ATM at the bank before heading to Timmies.
Then once you get to work, you take the elevator to your second floor office.

Of course, not everyone has fun exercising. - darkcooger, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1That's especially true if you're a slow weight-gainer to begin with. It took me about 3 years to gain 15 pounds, doing no exercise and eating whatever I wanted. For the past month, I've been exercising daily (~500 calories per day in cardio, plus lifting weights 3 days a week to increase metabolism) and I've already shed 7 pounds. And I actually eat *more* than I used to. Of course, being a tall guy probably helps, as I imagine it takes more calories to keep me moving than a shorter person.

- justinx0r, on 10/17/2007, -2/+21I watched that documentary and all it did was make me hungry for fast food. But seriously, if you don't eat fast food three times a day everyday (like in Supersize Me) it's not that bad. Everyone knew if you ate that much fast food you would be in terrible health. It's not a big secret he uncovered nor is it shocking. Just eat it once in a while and exercise.
- reed311, on 10/17/2007, -0/+3Yeah, he did take it to the extreme. It would be like someone trying to prove alcohol is bad for you (which everyone knows it is) and that person gets wasted every night for 30 days. Now, most of us did that in college; but it will take it's toll on you when you get older.
- emjaymj, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2You didn't make it extreme enough. It would be more like drinking exclusively alcohol for an entire month.

- ours, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1No, the movies clearly shows that they didn't expect this much change in so little time. The doctor treating him seems shocked of how his patient changes and advises him to quit. He expected him to gain weight and stuff but not a radical change in metabolism, heart condition etc...

Even beef can be made healthier if it's a lean cut of meat, and you don't eat it every day.
At home, you can do little things, like, when the recipe tells you to grease the bottom of a skillet, don't use butter; use olive oil instead. And lay off the soft drinks. Water is plentiful, cheap, and low in calories (as in no calories).
I'm not saying you can't have a burger every now and then, but don't make it a staple food item.

- darkcooger, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2I was behind a woman in Wal-Mart last night (first mistake: being in Wal-Mart) who was absolutely tremendous. She was maybe in her mid-40's. She was so large, she couldn't walk and had to use one of their little scooter things. Her husband was almost as big as she was, and their teenager daughter was well on her way to joining them. This alone is no evidence of a fattening society, but maybe the fact that everyone has seen these sorts of people - and in fact, see them *regularly* - is.
As an aside, when their massive grocery order (two buggies, plus the little basket on the scooter) was completely rung up, the husband and daughter pushed the buggies out of the store while the woman stayed to pay. Her card was denied, so she calmly drove her scooter out of the store to get another method of payment. Now all three customers and all of the groceries were gone. The cashier had a nice little fit about that. :) In the end, the woman and the buggies came back and had to void everything because they didn't have another payment option, but for a few minutes I thought I'd just witnessed the worst-played theft ever.

- CornmealMush, on 10/17/2007, -9/+4I also saw that "documentary" and did a research paper on the topic in college. Although it is unhealthy to eat it day in and day out, that guy was a pussy and cried like a bitch. He was having all this "depression" and things of the nature, but what about the guy he met who was tiny and ate at McDonalds every day? Also, in many of the polls of how "fat" Americans are they use the BMI which is the most retarded thing ever created. If you use that as an indicator, anyone that has a larger skeletal frame or a decent amount of muscle is considered "overweight". I, for example, am considered overweight (over midway to obese) and I have approximately 15% body fat. Now don't get me wrong, too many American's are overweight but you can't base it on fast food and the BMI alone. Besides, that movie was about as much as a "documentary" as that fat piece of ***** Michael Moore pushes out.
- SurrealDream, on 10/17/2007, -1/+1He was documenting the effects that eating ***** food day in, day out for a month had on him. I'm not surprised he felt like crap eating all that heavy, fatty food after being on a vegan diet for however long.
- nick9000, on 10/17/2007, -5/+5Much to his surprise Morgan Spurlock found that if you eat nothing but large portions of fast food for a month and you don’t exercise you put on weight. Well, du-uh.
McDonalds and their kind aren’t hitting people over then head and dragging them in off the streets to stuff food down their throats; people eat there through choice. I can’t say that a Burrito is the way I’d like to start the day but, hey, each to his own.- boxybrzown, on 10/17/2007, -1/+4"McDonalds and their kind aren’t hitting people over then head and dragging them in off the streets to stuff food down their throats; people eat there through choice."
Watch it again. The more interesting part of the story is that corporate food interests are indoctrinating children to eat junk from an early age by making that their only option at school cafeterias. There's no "force" involved, but there is a large amount of manipulation.- emjaymj, on 10/17/2007, -1/+3Yeah, god forbid the parents send their kids to school with a packed lunch...
Or that the schools keep the best interests of the kids in mind and make sure there are healthy options available.
You know what, it's just EASIER to blame the corporate food interests, let's go with that... - careyt, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2where are you going to school? I've never seen fast food being peddled in the schools around here at least... seems a little far fetched. are you one of those people who thinks "the truth is out there"?

- DiggsOnlyNeoCon, on 10/17/2007, -2/+9I think some of you are missing another key correlation with fast food and gaining weight -- price. Fast food is so much cheaper than eating healthy that price factors into the discussion. Why do you think the deep South has so many fat people?
- Lukesed, on 10/16/2007, -1/+1People have this strange idea that the same amount of calories somehow hurts you more when it comes from a fast food restauraunt. If anyone else fried some eggs with a ***** of cheese and bacon, it would have just as much fat and be just as artery-clogging.

When a co-worker and I went to San Diego for a conference, our hotel was directly across the street from a Carl's Jr. I knew what it was, not only because I wasn't retarded but also because it has the same freakin' logo. My co-worker, however, did not know. One day I suggested we go to Hardee's, assuming he knew what I meant, but he was baffled because he hadn't seen a Hardee's. Rather than explain it to him, I just pointed at the Carl's Jr., and he laughed and said, "That's not Hardee's, they just ripped off the Hardee's sign." It didn't even hit him when they had the same menu...

- picsectionpleez, on 10/17/2007, -3/+2Yeah right. They go out of their way to tell you they're drinking diet soda. It's not the taste- it's trying to justify the fat lard burger.
- xtc46, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Yup. I drink diet because i prefer the taste.

- gorkish, on 10/18/2007, -0/+3This is blatant misinformation. Artificial sweetners may not be the best thing for you but they certainly do not "contain" formaldehyde. The breakdown of complex organic compounds during digestion is rather complex, but the myth that Nutrasweet and other sweetners contain formaldehyde comes from a possible breakdown of aspartame into methanol (OMG it causes blindness!!!) and then further into formaldehyde. But here's the rub... Plenty of other organic compounds break down into that stuff too, and orders of magnitude more of it. Like citrus fruit. So if you drink a big glass of orange juice are you going to have enough formaldehyde in your intestines to preserve a toad? Hardly.
If the average person knew or understood the chemical processes behind a lot of the food they eat, they'd probably be disgusted if you describe them with the right spin. For instance, hominy is made from soaking corn kernels in lye water. But if you wanted to flip someone out you might say that they soak it in Draino! Holy crap! Grits have Draino in them! Cheese is made with STOMACH ACID, but please keep it quiet that mushrooms are grown in poop and not washed and that beer is the waste product of a yeast infection.

This thing was advertised front and center on the menu, and the order receiver asked promptly if I would like to try it - it was new, after all. I looked over the menu for two minutes in silence, finally reserving myself to check the thing out.
Imagine you have just drank a fifth of your favorite spirits, you are in the middle of a keg party in a crackhouse, it is 4AM, you are hungry and unable to leave. The only material to make yourself breakfast is:
1) a moldy tortilla
2) a box of instant mashed potatoes
3) mystery meat with freezer burn in the broken ice box
4) a can of cream of mushroom soup, Campbells is most likely
Throw all of this together under these circumstances and you would come up with an approximation for how this thing tastes. My mouth has never been more offended and I'm sure my stomach was thanking it all day for rejecting such a blatant crime against humanity. It should be a prominent feature for the Advertising Photo vs Real Life study as well, because you basically get a pile of steaming (RADIOACTIVE GRAVY) ***** "folded" in a tortilla by a 16 year old degenerate... you can't even call this thing a burrito for Christ's sake! To find out today the nutritional content of such a monstrosity.. well, not exactly shocking but lets just say it turned my stomach over an entire day later!- tehjarvis, on 10/17/2007, -1/+11You have the stomach of a 3 year old girl.

- XPACT, on 10/17/2007, -8/+1It is not the fat that makes you fat, it is the carbs. Try for 2-3 months carb free diet and you could notice the difference.
Also the calories are not an accurate way to measure the food intake, each person is different and has different metabolism. The calorimeter itself is a device where you burn something (is some cases food) but in the human stomach the "burning" is not the same burning as in the calorimeter.
There are basically three type types of human bodies and cross-combinations in between them, but one is always dominant (echtomorph, mesomorph and endomorph). No matter what you do if you stop dieting and exercising, you body will try to be close to whatever you have genetically encoded. You can not become different type of body, your frame (skeletal structure) will stay the same.- sonicEd, on 10/16/2007, -0/+7I'm just big-boned.
- Dominatus, on 10/16/2007, -0/+2Uhh...no, fat makes you fat too....
Carbs can make you fat too, I know it's shocking and all, who would have thought that taking in more calories than you burn would cause you to gain weight....
Go ahead, do your carb free diet. In the mean time, youre taking in way more fat than you should in proportion to everything else, increasing your chances of heart disease. Furthermore, you have much less energy than you could, because the body uses carbs as a instant energy source.
The best way to lose weight is to follow a healthy, well rounded diet, with a good mix of whole grains, protein, and some (not a lot) of fats, and those fats should be of the nut, olive oil, etc variety. Oh, and exercise too.. - onestrawplz, on 10/16/2007, -0/+1that's ridiculous. it's about separating good carbs from bad. sure, you don't want to fill yourself up on potato chips and french fries, but you should always opt for an apple (good carbs) over a slab of bacon (low carb) if you're looking to lose weight, simply because the apple is better for you than the bacon, despite the apple having way more carbs than the bacon. just be logical and you should be fine.

- Racerx52, on 10/17/2007, -1/+2Fake sugar is the worst product ever imaginable...
Why do people insist upon it, It's just terrifying. - gorkish, on 10/17/2007, -1/+1If you have to consume over 6000 calories in a day in order not to lose weight and you are neither grossly overweight nor doing an insane amount of exercise to burn that much you need to see a doctor. That is way beyond "high metabolism" and you could have some kind of thyroid disorder or even parasites among other things, all of which have effects much worse than being able to eat everything you put your eyes on.
- ellecon, on 10/17/2007, -1/+1How do I catch this disease? I kid, but OMG to have my teenage metabolism back...when I could eat 5000 calories a day without a thought...back when I didn't need to exercise...sigh...
I suppose it's cheaper to have to limit myself to 2100-2500cals, and I'd fare better if lost in the woods, so from a survivalist standpoint I'm better off now.
I'm rather keen on my various sports and workouts as well, and I might not bother doing them if it wasn't necessary. It's also kind of a ego-stroke when I get to show off my strength, which I wouldn't have if not for exercise.
6 of one,half a dozen of the other, I suppose.
- DreKor, on 10/17/2007, -2/+4what kind of crazy disorder do you have?
- cybermort, on 10/16/2007, -1/+3How come fast food industry doesn't get it half as bad as the tobacco industry, it kills too and it targets kids. this things should come with a surgeon general warning on it. If is a kids menu item , it should come with a "you are a horrible parent" label on it as well.
