"Fast- and chain-restaurant food is the worst thing ever to have happened to the American diet. mcdonalds, Burger King, and chain restaurants like Applebee's and TGIF pile on the calories in ever-expanding portions, with sodium and fat all far in excess of what we actually need. And since there is a natural tendency to eat everything on your plate, you know the consequence of ordering from their menus. People who eat fast food three or more times a week have a greater than 90% chance of developing heart disease or diabetes. I don't want to develop heart disease or diabetes, do you?" - J.

"Do the following experiment: The next time you order French fries at mcdonalds or a similar fast food restaurant, take some of them home with you, and leave them in an open space. You will discover that they will not decompose or even change color (unlike French fries made from fresh potatoes which will quickly shrivel up, turn grey and become moldy). Now, repeat the experiment with a hamburger. The hamburger will also last for years without deterioration. No bacteria will even try to decompose it." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Subway's current advertising campaign seeks to gain a marketplace advantage over its competitor, mcdonalds, by claiming that its sandwich is healthier than a McDonalds' Big Mac. The AHA logo is displayed next to the Subway sandwich, creating the impression that the AHA has endorsed this particular sandwich and is discouraging consumers from purchasing the Big Mac. The AHA states in its 2002 IRS Form 990 that its primary purpose is "Fighting Heart Disease and Stroke. " - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"The Canadian beef industry went into a tailspin, the Canadian dollar weakened, and share prices dropped for stock in mcdonalds, Wendy's, Outback Steak House, and other industries closely connected to beef. Canadian beef was a $5 billion industry with more than 90 percent of that in exports to the United States. The Canadian bovine that tested positive was suspected of having pneumonia and was slaughtered in January. (Why did it take until May to have test results?)

"Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Cadbury Schweppes, Tate & Lyle [the maker of the artificial sweetener, Splenda, and other such ingredients], mcdonalds and Diageo (Burger King) . . ." In a later report, its researchers noted: Many commentators . . . like to dismiss concerns about obesity as being solely an issue of personal choice . . . [but] the issue for food and drink companies is whether they can adapt... or will they be left behind promoting anachronistic processed foods and sugary drinks while their target customer has moved on." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"The advertisement in question implies that that this particular Subway sandwich should be purchased instead of a McDonalds' Big Mac because it has fewer grams of fat and is, therefore, healthier. However, the commercial does not disclose the calorie or sodium content of the sandwich, which some nutritionists would argue is dangerously high. The fact is, the sandwich the AHA apparently was paid to endorse, is not as healthy as consumers are led to believe by the commercial." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"According ro an article by Jeff Gordy on MSG, a lot of restaurants may use MSG to prepare their food, including mcdonalds, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and many others.5 Clumping Kitty Litter Clumping kitty litters are supposed to reduce odor and help in absorption but how safe are these products for our cats?

"Gerber's guarantees GE-free baby food as well, and mcdonalds went GE free in Europe to survive there economically. Indeed, the Montreal Event initiated the process of focusing on all food quality issues, starting with the GE issue. When I reported on this event in the March 2000 issue of Vitality Magazine these developments lay still in the future and the main issue was how to avoid GE foods. My recommendation to my readers was then to "adopt a raccoon and take him shopping to sniff out the right stuff." - Helke Ferrie, Dispatches From the War Zone of Environmental Health (Get the book.)

"When mcdonalds, Pringles, and the other major potato buyers decided not to sell Monsanto's GM New Leaf potato, for example, it was soon taken off the market. mcdonalds and others doomed Monsanto's potato because they wanted to satisfy consumer demands. We have that power. European food chains likewise responded to consumer demands, and their switch to non-GMO products was a landslide. Once a few major manufacturers and chains announced their intention go non- GMO, no one wanted to be left out. This made it easier on the whole industry." - Jeffrey M.

"I found that people who eat at mcdonalds three times a week or more have the highest chance of getting cancer, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, acid reflux, constipation, sleep disorders, depression, eczema, dandruff, and a host of other medical disorders. I'm sure McDonald's will violently disagree with my observations. I would not be surprised if McDonald's Corporation filed a suit against me, as they do against any person who says anything even remotely bad against the McDonald's Corporation. McDonald's, in my opinion, is the new "evil empire." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

The lawsuit was filed by an activist seeking to raise public awareness of the health dangers of trans fats in hydrogenated or partially-hydrogenated oils. Go to www.bantransfats.com for more information. • Kraft Foods was sued for knowingly putting dangerous trans fats in its food, most notably Oreos." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"The New Yorker ate three meals at mcdonalds every day for a month and his health was monitored by doctors. The outcome was devastating. Within days he went from being a fit, healthy 33-year-old, to vomiting, suffering headaches and depression, and losing his sex drive. His liver became overwhelmed by saturated fats and Dr Daryl Isaacs described Spurlock's liver test as shocking. 'It became very, very abnormal', he said. Spurlock put on a lot of weight in just one month and he said he became desperately ill. " - David Icke, Icke David, Infinite Love Is the Only Truth: Everything Else Is Illusion (Get the book.)
