Has anyone here seen SUPER SIZE ME ? A documentary film of epic portions...It's about a man in perfect health who for thirty days eats nothing but Mcdonalds fast food.

I heard about it. It is really telling something. I can only handle a burger once or twice a year. Just the thought of all that fat and a pressed meat patty, yuck.
