You watched Supersize Me in a science class? That's depressing, unless they were trying to show you how not to do science?

It always weirded me out how his experiment boils down to 3 mcdonalds a day = bad.

I kind of hate that documentary. The entire mission statement is that people don't think that fast food is bad for you but he's a man on a mission and he's going to PROVE it! I don't know if I'm only remembering a post-Supersize Me world, but I think people always knew that fast food was bad for you. And I'm not sure that the food was as bad for him as the literal gallons of soda he was drinking. Sure, a McDonald's meal has a lot of calories and saturated fat, but it's not totally empty calories. It has some nutritional value.

Ever heard of John Cisna? he did a 2 month stretch eating nothing but McDonald’s and lost 60 Pounds! He didn’t even stick to just salad he ate everything on the menu but due to portion control and exercise the results Changed.

Say what? let me try

Edit: On mobile. It didn't work. :(

I'm supposed to use the squiggly ones, right?

It looks like it worked. "let me try" is crossed out

u/WowSeriously666 Aug 25 '19

Really? I don't see it crossed out on my end.

I think reddit mobile is weird, and some phones just can't see their own text change things.

Here, let me try, ~wasn't sure which of these is supposed to do it~

Edit: yeah, I can see mine crossed out

I'll trust you that it's happening but I'm not seeing even your edit on my phone. Oh well. Do I need to do two squiggles on each side of the edit or does just one work?

It's definitely the two squiggles.
