That does it, I'm sending you, BBS and Hulk, pictures of the aftermath of a Mcdonalds fools feast. You won't be seeing any chickpea remnants either.

I encourage other sally belly's to do the same.

and for Missy Mcnuggettits, I bet it certainly DOES taste like chicken....like byproduct.

Sally belly's lol.

As I am sure the OP is aware, they can change the title of this thread to make more sense.

Complications from excess sodium aside (and honestly, this is something most people are guilty of because of the sodium levels in ALL foods), if she restricted to that same diet, it's very easy to stay perfectly healthy.

Granted, by the same assumptions, we could believe that 2000 calorie injections via carbs, some fat injections inside your stomach, and a whack of vitamin pills would legitimately keep you alive and healthy. And I'm not sure if that is 100% realistic.

Not really. There's a lot more to eating healthy than hitting calorie targets and taking supplements. Human bodies are quite resilient so she could probably stay alive, but the lack of a varied diet and fruits and vegetables is going to take its toll over the long term.

That said, I do agree that most fast food is really no worse for you than a lot of "healthy" alternatives that people eat every day once you account for the calories. Frozen entrees and many prepackaged foods have just as much (if not more) crap in it than fast food.

I assumed it was grease from the McNuggets impairing typing on the iPhone.

This story is so ridiculously over-the-top fake that it could only be published by one of two sources: the Sun, or the DailyMail.

The Daily Mail is hysterical.

I once saw a documentary on a guy who could only eat french fries. Eating anything else made him gag and puke. He looked pretty normal. Kinda skinny actually. He was in his late 20s, but apparently had the heart of a 50 year old.

After studying him for a while, they found he was more than just a fry addict, he actually had a weird condition called "super taster" where his taste buds actually picked up significantly more than the average person, causing most food to taste way stronger than the average person.

They ended up having to ween him onto other foods slowly. I think at the end of the documentary they had him moving slowly towards carrot sticks and peanut butter. It was pretty weird!

Bet his girlfriend hated that excuse.

I can't do it baby, everything I taste is super amplified.

Do they still have that show called "Freaky Eaters" on TLC? I remember watching a few episodes... one guy was addicted to eating raw meat; another woman secretly ate laundry detergent. Seriously.

[Kipper is King]

I think this might be a hoax. Just a gut feeling.

Actually I'm pretty sure the guy I'm talking about was from that show. It was interesting because he was actually quite normal...even kinda interesting. Competitive skateboarder, and I think professional graphics artist. The only reason he was forcing himself to try new things was because he had a newborn baby and wanted to make sure his heart would survive long enough to watch him grow up.

For shame!

If you're headed to California, it is your duty to enjoy as many burgers and fries from 'In and Out' as possible.

The UK Daily Mail is an utter garbage tabloid/sensationalist paper...

Call me closed minded but I have a hard time believing that anyone who eats only french fries would have a girlfriend.

How is BBS not taking more heat for that comment? We chased a guy off the board for eating Papa John's in NYC, but eating McDonalds in the land of In-N-Out gets a pass?
