Aug 21, 2008 - I think the reason the fries dont rot is because they would just be like potato chips (Eg lays, kettle chips etc). Because they are so thin i guess all the moisture is evaporated out, so they just dry and dont rot.

Aug 21, 2008 - yeah, true... thats why he US healthcare system is going to go bankrupt in a decade because of obesity. but statistics show only one in 20 obese people in america will make the changes necessary ti loose the wieght. the rest it seems are to lazy to get off their ass and do something aobut it...

Aug 21, 2008 - Does this demonstration get people to buy her books? Or is this a fake video designed to point out logical fallacies? The fact the hasn't rotted seems strange, but it in now way indicates that there is something wrong with it. Im not an author, but it seem to me that if your body didnt break down fast food, it would leave you in the same state it entered you. How can it get to your thighs unless it's broken down? This amounts to backwoods speculation.

Aug 21, 2008 - She shouldn't be talking shit about Macdonald's cus she's obviously been eating it!!!
gjmallory Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - Ummmm......Isn't she kinda overweight?
criticalyrational Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - It would be more impressive to see real research. What does a garden grown potato look like if its fried the same way and left out for 4 years? She showing a raw, uncooked one. How does the way it looks now indicate that it's harmful, or will effect your weight? She asks "what is this doing inside our body?", "why are children eating this?", then makes no attempt to provide an answer. She isn't interested in answers, the questions are what instills fear and sells the books.

Aug 21, 2008 - Just for fun -> Honey can last seemingly forever. So, by her definition, is honey not food?
betimi86 Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - if a big nice juicy McWhopper or whatever walked besides this woman, Im sure the burger would be a victim of multiple biting attempts and be another victim of her appetite..

Aug 21, 2008 - "Just for fun -> Honey can last seemingly forever. So, by her definition, is honey not food?" whats it going to break down into its just water and sugar,

SlappyGoober Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - I call BS on her four year old fries and cheeseburger. I recently found some old McD's fries in my kid's room while cleaning up that were all shriveled up and nasty looking.

Aug 21, 2008 - It is good that it lasts this long. This is the future and the past people. Open your eyes to the space age. Mcdonalds Rules!

Aug 21, 2008 - "I used to eat McDonald's when i was over weight" haha great.
metafolic Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - McDonald's isn't the reason that people are obese. Everything in moderation, if you eat it occasionally = no major harm.
ibanezguitar1 Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - Well, I work at Mcdonalds for a high school job, and I'm in college now,but four years ago, the wrapping that the mcdonalds corp was requiring the mcdonlads to use was actually blue, so this is all staged, stop trying to ruin a company, its free will to eat their. We dont put it down your throat, you choose to eat it and we dont say it's extremely healthy for you either.

Aug 21, 2008 - Yeah well this is the problem with America... look around you and just about EVERYONE is a fat bitch. People think 30lbs overweight = normal, 50lbs. overweight = chubby...
