    Default A Big Mac is actually....healthy? O_o

    http://www.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/03/19...eut/index.html

    I can't believe this crap. No way is any fast food(a burger no less) actually healthy or remotely 'good' for you. Leave it to some wack-job who wants to become noticed.

    Compared to the french quiche though which is mentioned in the article, it might be right for all I know But yeah, doesn't mean overall out of every food in existence, it's amongst the healthiest

    No, it just says that a Big Mac is healthier than quiche, which doesn't suprprise me since quiche is mostly bread and cheese.

    Detalis, details.
    I thought it was cheese. Well either way eating a load of eggs or cheese isn't the best for you.

    Whoa, whoa. They're taking away supersize drinks and fries. Because, y'no, people can't buy two of the same item. Man, what'm I gonna do? :-(

    No way man. Look at the more underlying evil here. First this wack-job says something like this and they Micky-Ds is launching a new healthy food campain and they cut the super sized stuff out....Conclusion. Micky-Ds payed this fool off.

    Besides....what is a nutrionalist saying anyways. That fast food is okay to eat? Thats how I see it. Obviously the quichteiao sa or what ever isn't as healthy but no need to go an promote fast food. Promote something that is actually healthy.

    On top of that they only compared one Stat and that is a ratio stat. For all we know the big mac could have 400 grams of protien and 300 grams of fat. That doesn't make it healthy either even though the ratio is higher.

    Let's see...they said that there was a good protein to fat ratio without providing any numerical data. A very professional study indeed. [/sarcasm]

    No, the article only praises the Big Mac in comparison to a quiche. Anyone who actually think Big Macs are healthy are clearly smoking something.

    Thats like saying Saddam Hussain is Jesus compared to Hitler. The comparison just shouldn't be made.

    I think we need to read that part of this wack-job's book. Just to see what the hell is wrong with him.

    It's like light cigarettes, really.
    But if a smoker asked which was healthier, they'd want an answer, not ed bitching about how horridly evil the makers of light cigarettes are.

    This is what's in Quiche Lorraine, which is much different than the quiches most people eat nowadays. Besides, they're just comparing the Big Mac as a sandwich, not the entire meal.

    Signature by rubah. I think.
