McDonald's to Eliminate Super Sizes by Year End
 

They're folding due to the criticism they've received for having the option to make your meals huuuuge. You can read the article here.

Personally, I think this is good news for people who are still trying to learn portion control. But personally, I'm a healthy person and it'll be kind of a bummer not to have the ocassional splurge on biggie fries. Its all about moderation.

Maybe that will help Un-Supersize the American public.

Another freedom down the drain... This is all because of that horrible John Banzhaf... He should be indicted for treason...

Communist.

I will tell you one thing, if we continue to throw away our freedoms like this, soon we will have nothing left.

You think it will stop here? No way Jose, it will keep on going until we are eating soylent green...

Don't knock it, 'til you've tried it.

I have no problem with this.

You will most likely still be able ot order large fries and large drinks though.

I doubt it unless you figure out a way to educate the poor.

All people are going to do is order 2 large fries, lol.

I'm on the Atkins Diet, and this thread is giving me the biggest craving for McDonald's fries.

Must... resist... the... fries.

Russell, I think Soylent Green is permitted on Atkins. :p

I have a feeling that tonight I will indulge in MickeyDs just for the hell of it. I have not had McDs in months but tonight is the night. :D

Ummm you could put some salt on a carrot stick....:p

What the hell is soylent green? I thought it was some wierd Pittsburgh band that 33girl was into.

Carrots are too high in sugar for Atkins. Besides, its not just about the salt. Its the grease. That yummilicous grease that comes with the deep frying that makes it so darn good.

What you fail to understand ktsnake, is that soon the Large fries will be stopped, then the medium, then the small... It will not stop. It is just like tobacco. Just wait, see what these freaks do next.


There will be NO Atkins Diet soon, as the meat will be banned, the cheese will be banned, carbs of course are prob'ly next to go, and after they figure out vegetables have too much sugar, they will ban those too.

Soylent Green is in Banzhaf's future!!! Beware Rudey, Beware...

You're kidding me. Are you being sarcastic?

Well, somewhat, of course... But I do think it is an issue people turn a blind eye to. We need to stand up for our own rights, it is important. I do not eat supersized fries, never have, but you better believe that if I WANT THOSE FRIES, I better be able to get them. My point is that these lawyers are freaking everyne out, and it is against the American way...

Soylent Green is the dead people food right??

-Rudey

Darn it!!! You ruined the ending for everyone!!!! J/K Yes, you are right.

i could never finish a large fry so a supersize is no loss to me.

Although it would suck if you wanted to split the fries with like 4 of your friends... which is what i normally do anyway.

I haven't had fast food in a long time and y'all are making me hungry... ;) :p

Soylent Green = crazy sci-fi movie starring Charlton Heston. It's about the future (but the future as forseen in 1973) where women are called "furniture" and come with the apartment you buy, and the world has depleted it's resources and is now forced to eat mass produced food square things called "soylent." there are various colors, blue and yellow i think...but in the end it's discovered that the newest one, soylent GREEN, is made from people.

the most memorable quote: "SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!"

it's crazy.
//end hijack.

mcdonalds is taking away the supersize fries and sodas, but wendy's and burger king aren't. i didn't like their fries as much as the others anyway!

Visionary genius!

You know what's going to happen... they're just going to take the current "supersize" and call it "large", then introduce an even larger option called "giant" or "enormous" or "friggin' huge" or some such thing. :p

Or they can 'Texas size' everything...

Conversion chart for 'Texas Sizing' and the rest of the world: :)

TEXAS SMALL - Huge!

TEXAS MEDIUM - Immense!!

TEXAS LARGE - Unbelievable!!!

Works with just about everything... from burger combos to condoms! ;) :) :D

I warned people that once they got done harassing the smokers, getting most of them to quit because of taxes or the sheer inability to smoke just about everywhere, they'd start going after foods high in fat and sugar! I believe someone did propose a "sin tax" on unhealthy foods but it was quickly deemed too difficult to implement.

Will they still have the humongous size?

Well if you can't resist the urge to supersize will you please sterilize yourself now?

And if you feel the need to go on a crusade about it . . . please take just leap off a building . . a tall one.
