Subject: [ExI] McD was food again

It's not always obvious from the menu, but McD has a "value meal" for
$3.45 (in some parts of California).  Small spicy chicken sandwich, small
fries, small but refillable drink.  I get these no more than once a week.
Sigh.  And to think there was a time when I ate 4500 calories a day and
didn't gain a bit of weight.

Ja.  McDonald's gets a bum rap.  Their value meals are very reasonably
priced and generally have a reasonable calorie count.  Agreed the stuff
isn't exactly health food, but if you keep it in moderation, I don't see why
they should be the poster child for bad nutrition.  If their high-fat food
is so good, it causes us to  eat too much of it, well that isn't the
restaurant's fault.  Our modern highly evolved food environment demands
iron-fisted self-discipline on the part of the individual, there's no sugar
coating it.  As time goes on and food evolves even further, we need still
more self-discipline.  Perhaps someone will develop a pill that does that
for us.  In the meantime, iron fisted self-discipline, me lads.
