• Science at random

    In this blog I write about and discuss random topics and issues that I come across in my daily life as a lab scientist.

    • The Mc Donalds dilemma

      Thursday, 16 Aug 2007 - 06:45 GMT

      Fast food in not good for you! There is of course plenty of evidence showing that high-fat fast food is detrimental to your health and that it is a nutritional nightmare. If you have seen “Super-size Me” then you know what I am talking about.

      On this topic I just came across a funny story from “good-old” England. There, a couple (both 84 years old!!!) has been going to the same McDonalds restaurant every day for 17 years! They always have the same meal, always sit at the same table, and are believed to have spent a total of £20,000.00 on burgers and fries. But, not too many fries, they always share a portion of the “could-be-potato” sticks. Who says love doesn’t go through the stomach?!

      Amazingly, they don’t seem to be overweight or suffer from any obvious complications and all of that at the age of 84.

      This story should not encourage people to eat more McDonalds food though, but I thought the story was a funny read and I thought I’d share it.
