What has fast food done to the American public? It's put us on the road to ruin. The impact of an all fast food diet for a relatively short period of time is frightening. See this movie.

Point well taken. After all, diet is something that many of us have complete control over.
Before seeing the movie, I had an occasional sausage mcmuffin w/egg for breakfast--maybe one a month at the most. (Yes readers, I am aware that this was crowned the menu item with the highest fat content a year or two ago.)
After seeing the movie, I haven't been back to McD's. But I think it's highly likely that after some time has passed, I may be back for a breakfast sandwich or a filet o' fish.
What I found so surprising (and frightening) was the impact to this guy's physical and mental faculties in 30 days of concentrated McD's consumption. Apparently all the doctors that he consulted were surprised as well.
Perhaps singling out McDonalds is unfair, but I believe he picked out the king of all ff chains for this movie.
That is not to say that McD's doesn't do great things for the community or that they targeted childern in their advertising campaigns with malice in mind.
For me, the movie was an eye-opening look at how one industry has contributed to the overall change in America's health and way of life.
