Morning: Number 2 (double cheesburger with fries) at Wendys with a Frosty = 1125 calories
After exam: Big Mac meal = 1350 calories
Lunch: Another #2 at Wendys = 825 calories (w/o frosty)
Dinner: Wendys again, same deal = 825 calories (w/o frosty)
Bored: Big Mac meal again... = 1350 calories

OCTUPLE Bypass surgury, a week long recovery in the hospital, and a modified diet for the rest of your life = PRICELESS

my bad, panda...i tend to do that....to answer your question...NO fast food is healthy...healthy food is fresh food, which is exactly the opposite of fast food, which has been processed over and over again and filled with all kinds of preservatives and color dyes to keep your "meat" looking meaty...fast food is truly disgusting to me. i actually get sick if i eat it...
Take a look at the movie "Supersize Me" - this guy spends a month eating nothing but McD's. Besides the wieght gain, mood swings, and lethargy that set in, he practically destroyed his liver, like being an alcoholic. Scary stuff....the fast food places are warping our minds from an early age....resist...eat healthy....like bnetframe says......there is no healthy fast food. A good business opportunity for someone to get into.

yea, supersize me is a really good movie....especially if you eat fast food.....*cough* CHECK *cough*......i saw it a couple months ago, it's actually pretty funny too, the guy that made it has a series on tv now (on fx, maybe, i don't remember)....where he experiences different things for 30 days...it looks pretty good.

If you really want to scare yourself off fast food read "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schiosser. You may never eat in a fast food place again!

Here is a synopsis from Barnes and Noble.com

Journalist Schlosser argues that the fast food industry has triggered the growth of malls in America's landscape, widened the gap between rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and propelled American cultural imperialism abroad. He discusses facts about food production and preparation, the ingredients and taste-enhancers in the food, the chains' efforts to reel in young, susceptible consumers, and other unsettling facts.

Cheers...

I'm no biologist, but here is my theory. The runny chilli in the chilli cheese burrito is already pretty much digested so your body doesn't have much work to do there. Throw in the grease from the meat and it just slides through you. My Grandpa would call that kind of food "poop slicker".
