Meden Agan.
I've never heard of Debbie Downer until today maybe because I don't watch Saturday Night live. MytsicCat You're right though, you really wouldn't care that it isn't healthy until you go to the doctor and he/she tells you that you have gastrointestinal cancer, in other words, colon cancer which has been associated with diets high in fat and sugar and low in fiber, such as Taco Hell, Micky Ds, BK, Arby's ect. In societies that traditionally have a low incidence of colon cancer, such as the Japanese, it just seems like when people begin to eat a Westernize diet of refined foods and high fat, such as (lol lol) Taco Hell, Micky Ds, BK, Arby's, ect. the risk of colon cancer increases.

I couldn't resist.
