Two documentaries about the impact of fast food eating on our health go head to head in today’s episode. The first is “Supersize me” and the second is “Fathead”.
These documentaries can be found in many places:
“Supersize me” can be found, among other places, on Netflix and on You tube.
“Fat head” can be found on YouTube and probably a few other media outlets.
I refer to a previous podcast episode that discusses omega-3 fatty acids versus Omega 6 fatty acids. That can be found here.
I also discuss comparing caloric values from 10 years ago to today’s caloric values on the McDonald’s menu. Here is a sampling of those menu items:
Big Mac: 540 calories
quarter pounder with cheese: 540 calories
grilled chicken bacon clubhouse: 610 calories
quarter pounder deluxe: 600 calories
McRib: 540 calories
