Most of you probably remember the documentary "Super Size Me" which ended up causing weight gain and assorted health problems after a month of eating 3 meals a day at McDonald's. That study was done about 10 years ago,and has been repeated recently with different results. A science teacher in Iowa has lost 37 lbs. and lowered his cholesterol after 3 months,3 meals a day of the new McDonald's menu. He restricted his intake to 2,000 calories and used the daily recommended allowances for carbohydrates,proteins,sugar and fat,plus he walked 45 minutes a day. His students planned his meals and he made his own documentary. He was inspired by the irresponsible journalism of "Super Size Me" and wanted to teach his students about choices. Though personally I'm not a big McDonald's fan,I am happy someone finally pointed out the obvious flaws of the "Super Size Me" documentary.
