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.

Anything in excess is bad. My daughter turned orange as an infant because she was eating too many carrots. You can die from ingesting too much water. Moderation in all things.

ANYWAY...

I got the dinner sandwich for free. It was good for free. I can't see paying $2.49 for it by any stretch of the imagination. I'll stick w/ the $1 McChicken.

I know. You're right. I just posted that to get a reaction from MysticCat.

This makes me want to eat only carrots for a few days just to see if I turn orange. That would be great for Texas football games.

Lemme know when you cut out high-fructose corn syrup as well -- much more insidious, I think. We can start a list from there.

And next time, go ahead . . . resist.

Take it all in stride and go back to celebrating the joys of chicken sandwiches.
But I'm the one who doesn't think they're that good.

Agreed, though -- maybe I should have said everyone who pays attention at all.
