[ExI] junk food diet

[Keith Henson]

If you read the story, it's no wonder that he lost weight.  Nothing
particularly wrong with McD food when you eat half of their servings
or are an active teenager.

Early days of college I added up the intake of the four of us who
lived at the Druid Student Center.  On 4500 calories a day, none of us
were gaining weight.  Marching in ROTC and running to class plus
weekend activities burned it off.

Yesterday, for the first time in 8 months, I got a large fries at McD.
$6.01.  Talk about inflation.

That’s when Ronald began offering salad on Happy McMenu, which of course no one ever actually bought (for one does not go to McDonalds for salad (nor to a donut shop.))  But Ronald offers it, and McDonalds is not liable if their viands are so delectable that it renders customers helpless to resist, resulting in the silly proles devouring too much and growing into portly young diabetics with clogged arteries.  Well, imagine that.  It isn’t hard to do: these are well-known consequences of eating too much McD’s and scarfing too many donuts.
