BIG thanks to Jacob for sending me this story from the New York Post. Here’s an excerpt:

LAST February, Morgan Spurlock decided to become a gastronomical guinea pig.

His mission: To eat three meals a day for 30 days at McDonald’s and document the impact on his health.

Scores of cheeseburgers, hundreds of fries and dozens of chocolate shakes later, the formerly strapping 6-foot-2 New Yorker - who started out at a healthy 185 pounds - had packed on 25 pounds.

But his supersized shape was the least of his problems.

Within a few days of beginning his drive-through diet, Spurlock, 33, was vomiting out the window of his car, and doctors who examined him were shocked at how rapidly Spurlock’s entire body deteriorated.

“It was really crazy - my body basically fell apart over the course of 30 days,” Spurlock told The Post.

His liver became toxic, his cholesterol shot up from a low 165 to 230, his libido flagged and he suffered headaches and depression.

Spurlock charted his journey from fit to flab in a tongue-in-cheek documentary, which he has taken to the Sundance Film Festival with the hopes of getting a distribution deal.

I eat a lot of fast food. Way too much, in fact. While I can’t say my libido is in any danger, but I can agree that when I find myself eating more fast food than usual I do get headaches and find myself in a general malaise. I didn’t attribute it to eating fast food as I regularly have so many things happening in life I just chalked it up to a busy schedule, but you know what, it probably is the fast food. McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Panda Express (the panda treats you right), etc … ya know, I gotta kick the habit. Fast food is my heroin and frankly, I’d be ten times better without it.

Here’s the problem, to cook is an awful fucked thing. You gotta put the shit in the thing and cook it, which takes 20 minutes minimum, then you eat it and gotta clean the shit what you cooked up. Oh, and then there’s cooking for one which blows giant elephant cock. You always end up with leftovers and I’m not a leftovers kinda guy.

If I ate healthier, things would be different and I know it. After reading the above story I gotta seriously think about cutting down drastically the shit fast food I eat and find alternatives. This ain’t no good.
