I dunno, maybe that makes me some stupid American who is shepherded in by the sheep herd between the golden arches, I'm just more concerned by my food not being contaminated with mold than I am of McDonald's evil contents. Considering I only eat McDonalds once or twice a year. XD
I mean, mold is really horrible. I want to throw up when I hear of people throwing away the moldy fruit in their container and eating the rest, or even worse, cutting the moldy bit off and eating around it. The nature of mold is that by the time there is actually visible mold, there are thousands or even millions of mold spores inside of the fruit, about to begin growing. Oh god, I want to throw up just thinking about it. A billion times worse than Supersize Me.
This is why when I go fruit shopping I have to make sure there is not one moldy or squished blueberry in my blueberry container. If even one is moldy, I have to throw the WHOLE thing out. What a waste. =(
Uh, consider mold, again, to be a horrible discovery I've found.
Heh, I usually just laugh when I find things like this. Sometimes sit there and watch them for a while. Still, I'm not unshakable. Couple of months ago I got out of the shower, grabbed a towel and dried my hair, then hung the towel over my shoulders and looked in the mirror and saw a spider (~3 inches diameter) climbing up the towel just below my face. Never so quickly has a towel departed a human. Spider landed in the shower and either drowned in the little bit of water left in the bottom or died from shock or something. Either way, I got my amusement in the end when I turned the shower on. Guts went everywhere when the water hit, it was awesome.
Some molds are edible. Millions of people eat molded breads and cheeses. What's the big deal? I'd rather eat that than those chemo-fries.
The blue fuzzy mold growing on old bread or fruits? I'm sure that's not healthy. Oh god, no thanks, the idea makes me nauseous. Give me fries any day. Like most things of indulgent nature, fast food is OK in moderation. I'm sure blue fuzzy old food mold isn't. Certain molds can make you very sick.

Go ahead and eat. Om nom nom.
The fact that it's forbidden makes it even more delicious. ;)
I think fast food in moderation is healthier than eating harmful (emphasis on harmful) molds. XDQuote:

I really don't get this fat American thing. Most Americans I know are very svelte, in my area. It really depends on where you go in the country, like most countries. When I when to Italy, I saw plenty of fat Italians, since I wasn't in a major city.
EDIT: OH MY GOD HUXLEY I AM ABOUT TO HURL. BANNED.
I didn't make up the statistics.
I like how you are changing the subject. Would you eat the apple I posted a pic of, or are you going to stop claiming that Americans are the only people who actually avoid eating rotten food?Quote:

The fact that Americans intentionally dodge harmful mould is totally ruining my "Americans are all stupid" theory.
Got a lot of stuff to rethink tonight. :blush:
I once found a mouldy cola bottle sweet behind my bed back home. I...I don't know how long it must've been there.
