Was the movie: "Super Size Me" just a cover up?

All this attention regarding McDonald's incredibly unhealthy food. Could it be a cover for something more sinister?

Can't be that unhealthy Tombstone, after all, Mac uses potatoes from IDAHO.

Ah yes! But "untreated" Idaho potatos, and all products made from potatos go bad after a few days. (Mold, mildew, decomposition, what have you.)

McDonalds' french fries defy this natural law. (Just like Twinkies.)

Are you implying Ronald McDonald killed JFK?

It would be kind of hard for him to hide in a crowd...but lots of room in the baggy pants to hide a sniper rifle.

Sorry, Tombstone, old buddy old pal, but I really fail to see the humour
in this.

Maybe it's just me... an old broad who remembers that time oh so
very well, but...

Hi Valerie,

It is indeed a photo in poor taste. Should I pull it?

valerie · 03-19-2005, 07:38 PM

Thanks for the offer, but I don't think you need to do that...

I would be interested in open discussion and to see what others think,
as always here in the Garden!!

I thought it was pretty funny.

i think the problem is that it hits kind of close to home for those who lived through that episode. i was awfully young, and barely remember it - though of course, i've seen any and every documentary on it in existence. but for some it was a very real and painful time.

With the amount of time the secrecy has been maintained there is little left to do but make jokes. And wait.
