Super-Size Me

Man nearly kills himself in only 30 days on all-McDonald's diet [1]: This guy ate nothing but McDonalds and chronicled the effects on his health and waistline in a documentary, "Super-Size Me." In a month he gained 30 lbs, raised his cholesterol by nearly 50 points and damaged his liver.

Note that I am not a vegetarian; in fact, I used to advocate a low-fat, low-meat lifestyle and after all the research I've done I now cannot advocate either vegetarianism or low-fat eating (with the caveat: to each her own). But Standard American Diet abbreviates as SAD for a reason, folks. However you choose to eat, make it yourself out of fresh, whole foods.
