Actually, the bigger you get, the more sedentary you get. This means you are burning far fewer calories due to the fact that you're not moving around much. Some morbidly obese people eat normal sized meals, but since they don't have a normal level of activity they don't have the opportunity to burn any of the fat stored in their body.
You don't need to eat much to maintain your body weight if you aren't exerting any energy to cause your body to burn off any of the weight.
Oh, also they eat bacon. Lots and lots of bacon.

Seriously.

Even at my absolute worst (6pm-6am EMS dispatcher, eating lots of pizza as I couldn't leave to get my own food [being the dispatcher and whatnot], nobody would deliver, and I was too lazy to make myself a farking sandwich, slept all day so no exercise, etc.) I was 250 pounds, and I said "enough", started eating better, joined the army, got in fantastic shape, and was down to about 200 pounds (pretty lean too).

I'm now around 215, don't exercise nearly as much as I should, but eat a lot better. I should exercise, but now that I'm out of the army and getting my degree in physics, I just can't seem to find the time. Damn.

I don't get how people can get to the point where they're beyond "overweight" to "morbidly, grossly overweight".

Whoa, whoa, whoa....wait a minute. I thought no other country on the planet had any fat people? Well, that's what the Europeans are always saying. Only fat people live in the US, right?

I gotta say, aussie maccas is a lot better for you than american maccas. they have salads, rolls, 'lean beef burgers' and some healthier options on the menu. They even have a heart foundation approved menu.. which is ridiculously hard to get. All the stuff there has full dietary information too (fat content, energy, carbs etc)

That being said, the fries, burger, coke combo isnt the best thing for you... but compared to american maccas, its a health food store.

"Walk away, just walk away..."

oh yeah, and:





they have McDonald's outside of the midwest?

They'll need stronger forklifts.

Actually, the bigger you get, the more sedentary you get.

Is this the reason you are not fat? Spread the word man! And here I was thinking it was the "evil" computer games keeping people sitting around all day and night making them fat. Push the plate away and get off your a$$ for a while.

Allot of it is just marketing ploy and cultural differences. You will never get a McOz in the states, But a big mac is a big mac in both places. However the hardest thing to adjust to every time I come back to the states are the sizes of the meals. A medium here is easily a large in Australia. I always make the mistake of ordering a large the first time I eat at a fast food joint and wonder what the fark I'm going to do with the 5 whole potatoes in my fry/chip box and 3 gallons of soda.

Somehow I interpreted subby's headline as meaning that McDonalds was working with the Sydney morgue to forklift cadavers to the restaurants for use in food. But I haven't slept in a while...

They're kinda-sorta working towards "healthier menu options" in the U.S., what with salads and fruit and yogurt and grilled chicken items on most menus (plus no more "Super Sizing," though I think we can thank Morgan Spurlock for that more than anybody). Still, the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese and the Big Mac get advertised just as heavily as anything else, and that's where the waddling set always gravitates.

BTW, when I read your post, I can hear an Aussie in my head pronouncing "Maccas," and it makes me smile.

Yes, the mind boggles at what kind of calories these people eat. I'm 6'10, 175 lbs (keep losing weight), and I eat 4-6KCal per day, still losing weight.

When I did a stint as a baggage handler, I was literally eating every 15 minutes just to stay the weight I was at. I always kept food on me. I have no clue how I could achieve being fat - Heck, I'd settle for being able to put on 35-45 pounds.

So these foodie type Aussies show up in my town in NJ and take over the local deli/luncheonette hole in the wall joint.

And they REFUSE to put a beetroot on my damn burger. HUGE gaudy Ayers Rock mural on the wall, boomerangs and a surf board and the whole "theme" going, and not an "Aussie" food in the whole place.

Tomorrow they either have beetroot, meat pies or Asian fusion, or an appointment with La Migra.

Thank you Morgan Spurlock.

I now don't eat fast food anymore and lost 10 pounds fast and I feel much better.

I tried to eat a Jack In The Box meat and cheese (I used to love these) one day about a year after I stopped eating at those places
and I felt like some one had poisoned me for days after.
I was lethargic, over reactive, nauseous, and cranky for 2 days.
I was told that I had the symptoms of coming off heavy drugs.

Good to see the self appointed "intellectuals" desperately scramble to try and distinguish themselves from the proles who consume such heathen foods like...*gasp* Hamburgers. We all know the righteous eat nothing but free-range, organic vegan tofu and nuts.

Congratulations, especially on the tobacco. Took my own mom to choose between smoking or having a horribly asthmatic toddler son to decide to quit. This was about 20 years ago, and he is quite healthy.

Actually the important part was that you took advice from said tool. I thought you mite like to know what a tool he was.

You changed your life that much because of one asshole with a camcorder and a vegan girlfriend. The outcome was good this time around. But dude, stay away from any koolaid someone offers you. Even if they can edit together an hour and a half of footage to make it look fantastic.

If you can't gain weight with 6k calories a day then you should think about eating buckets of rendered pork fat.

If Mc Donald's could make the same profits by selling carrots, celery juice, and bean soup, they would.

Mc D's is healthier and has offered healthier menu choices than other fast-food joints in the U.S.

People don't want healthy food. Some people would consider it, but are turned off by the exorbitant prices at the places which offer it.

Make your own damn sandwich if you don't like Mc Donalds. It's what I do.
