: : : boy, you really do seem to be misinformed...: : : Everything's relative. People live on heroin, or a pag o' cigs a day and live to be 70.
: : Well, let's see: John Belushi, Jerry Garcia, and River Pheonix might

: Exactly my point - some people (by no means all) can live for many, many years on heroin or smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. You could also eat a couple of Macs a day for many, many years.
: The point is that doing any of these will almost certainly get you a date with St Paul or Lucifer (other life decisions permitting) before the one that was originally scheduled for you.
: And...probably most importantly for everyone, is that before you die, you will suffer from a decrease in quality of life due to additional health problems you have incurred by these actions (purchase is necessary, effects may very from individual to individual).
Guys, the point is, life is a series of CHOICES. The trick is to maintain a balance in all that you choose, whether in your diet or activities of daily living. At no time has McDonald's expoused the benefits or virtues of consuming every meal in their establishments. You cannot survive a diet of only carbohydrates or only protein or without fat. (Yes, surprise, surprise, the human body does require some fat in the diet for little things such as the formation on myelin sheaths, but I digress). There must be a proper balance of all nutrients. For heaven's sake, its just a restaurant. You don't have to eat there if you don't want to. Oh, and please, comparing the evils of Big Macs to that of Heroin? Wake up and smell the McNuggets.
None.
