w and i actually had today off! woohoo!! so we watched super size me. it was interesting, kinda grossed me out. i mean, we all know that eating fast food as your main staple isn't the healthiest, but this movie really showed just how detrimental it is to your body! ugh. makes me ill just thinking about it. i thought the funniest line was when morgan spurlock says that when he has kids, everytime they drive by a fast food joint he's gonna punch his kid, basically to condition him/her to dislike fast food! hahaha, genious. a lot of the topics i knew from reading fast food nation (which is a must read for everyone, imo).

it's so gross for me to see little kids drinking sodas (big gulps at 8am??) and eating mc d's for breakfast. when i was growing up, i NEVER ate that stuff. i never drank sodas, i hardly ever had junk food. i can totally remember in the 4th grade, my mom would pack me a sandwich and minute maid fruit punch for lunch, and would add a bag of skittles! funny thing, i used to give it away, or trade it for my friend's beef jerky. hahahaha... i can't even imagine not having a home cooked meal every day, made with fresh vegetables and meats (NEVER frozen). i never really ate fast food til i got to high school, and even then, it wasn't like something i wanted to eat all the time. my friend introduced me to frozen tator tots sophomore year in high school, and my mom was appalled that i would eat that "junk." and in college, i hardly ever ate fast food. we had tons of tacquerias, bbq joints and GOOD places to eat! altho not the best for you food, it still beats super-sized fries.
