I'm not gonna get too preachy here, but let's just say "Supersize Me", the documentary on McD's and their um, less than superbly healthy cuisine was an eye-opener.

With that in mind, here's a quiz to see how well you're informed about the crap we sometimes mistake for food.

Hey Rob, I was floored by that film. I can recall a few years ago, visiting my sister and her husband and son in Seattle, when we went out to eat at the local McD's. I laconically mentioned that I hadn't seen a Big Mac in fifteen years. The three of them looked at me wide-eyed and said in unison: "You haven't??!!"

I LOVED that movie ..

I couldn't help but wonder why Oprah Winfrey was sued by Texas Cattlemen after she said, on her show .. "I will never eat another hamburger" .. and seems terrified of mentioning the issue again .. she had every right to say what she did .. but yet actually feared that she would not prevail during that trial

and yet, this guy totally trashed the whole industry .. and lives to tell about it

nah, she'll have Stegman eat them, and live the experience vicariously through him.

*mumbles through a mouthful of Big Mac goodness ... crumbs falling off to the side, special sauce dripping from chin*

Whaaaa??

:oP

I took the quiz and got 6/10 correct. Don't know if that is good, as some of the questions were related to branding.

Hmm, "Supersize Me" might be good on a double bill with "Sicko".

I got an 8 out of 10.

My mummy has made sure i'm fairly up to date on these things.

I missed on the chip shape question… which i'd have known if I thought about it a bit more. lol

and I missed on the hamburger question… cuz the main thing I know is they're ALL mf unhealthy.

and yeah… Supersize Me changed a whole bunch of my eating habits…

6/10 for me ....

I guessed on the Twinkie thing & got that right, but I was sure it was the French who introduced donuts to the New World. Got that wrong though.

I always hated Pringles & now I have another reason since I got that one wrong too.

8/10... considering most of those are American companies, I think I did pretty darn good.

Number 2 and number 10 wrong.

No, 10 is correct. In many homes, kids may have 2-3 sodas (soft drinks) a day. That amount of sugar far surpasses the amount found in a single bowl of cereal.
