SUPERSUPERSIZE

Just watched the movie/documentary on fastfoods called "supersize me". and to be honest, the content of it all disgusts me. Not because it isn't true, but because its too true, but nobody around me is really noticing it yet.

And right when i was watching this movie, the issue of personal responibility versus corporate responsibility came up. Just like in BGS whoa. haha. I mean, its really easy to put the blame on the company, but whose fault is it ultimately for being unable to control ur own diet, for finding excuses to exercise? Don't you dare blame it on the fastfood chains. Perhaps all they simply did was withhold some information about the calorie intake of a fastfood meal. Its a well known fact that fastfood is unhealthy, so why eat it? Because it tastes nice and because its cheap. Well, fastfood isn't cheap in SGP, and there are so many other types of food that taste nice.

One more thing which made me even more disgusted - they sell food that makes people addictted to it. i.e. cheese which has morphine on it (from the cow's liver - all cheese alright), and sodas which contain not only so much sugar, but loads of caffeine too. Yeah its that disgusting. Just think about it. People not only feel like eating macdonald's because it gives them the warm fuzzy feeling of eating there - from all the advertisment gigs mac's has, but also from all the addictive stuff in the meals. Good god. Granted, the amount of morphine is not enough to make u really addicted to it. But... just think of the combination and if we really took in the ads, we'd be eating mac's everyday for every meal!

I am sooo not gonna touch fastfood in a looooooooooong while. trust me on that.

Exercise regime anyone? I think i ought to start on it soon rather than sit on my butt the whole while.
